- Amazing! Thank you, @Dame_Lillard, for your continual support of our students. Sounds like a special delivery is on the way! #RipCityReplying to @Dame_LillardHappy to announce that the Respect “student edition” of my #Dame7 has arrived and deliveries are on their way to each Respect school. McDaniel, Parkrose and Roosevelt school colors are represented along with the Respect principles: Show Up, Work Hard and Be Kind.
