Branson’s character trait for December is Compassion/Kindess – caring for others.
The Ole Seagull and the Branson Courier are “partner”s in the First PLACE, “Partners, Linking Arms for Character Education,” program that is being conducted during the 2005-2006 school year in Taney County. The simple program uses a combination of our areas schools, the community, and family to fill and reinforce the minds of our children with positive character traits that can forever change their lives.
For more information on the First PLACE program see the editorial entitled, “Character takes First PLACE within our community!” or go to the First Place Website.
