Good morning Oakdale-Bohemia Middle School. This is Zachary Palazzotto with a few words of wisdom.

Writer/ philosopher of the European Enlightenment, Charles de 
Montesquieu says, "To become truly great, one must stand RIGHT with people, NOT above them!"

Upon reading this quote, I was reminded of our ALL IN pledge...
"I pledge to stand up and speak out against bullying.
To accept my role as an EVERYDAY HERO.
To be less critical and more positive.
To treat everyone with RESPECT. 
To be part of the solution, because I am...
ALL IN!"

So to be a truly great person, learn to treat everyone the same. No one is above you, nor is anyone below you. Equality rules in all matters of RESPECT!

With something to think about, this is Zachary Palazzotto. Make it a great day or not. The choice is yours.
