Bernie, Missouri - Each month Mrs. Summer McGowan teaches a Guidance Counseling session at Bernie Public Schools for each class and the lesson stems from our character trait of the month.

The students are supposed to take what they learn from the character trait instruction and apply it to their daily lives in how they treat others and make decisions.

At the end of the month, each teacher gets to nominate one student from their classroom they felt most consistently displayed the character trait of the month.  The students are recognized for their accomplishment and are given a character trait pencil.

January character trait was INTEGRITY!
