RESPECT...

...the books as part of our school. 
Everything here is shared not only by your class, but also by all the other classes in the school and the teachers. This adds up to a lot of people who depend on each other to take care of the books. 

...those around you 
by being polite and talking in “inside voices.”  
by following directions.  
by keeping hands, feet, and objects to yourself.
