St. Bernardâs School
These are some St. Bernardâs School second-gradersâ drawings of what honesty looks like to them. St. Bernard’s School has a prayer service led by one of the kindergarten through fifth grades each Friday to crown the week. The fifth-grade students in Mrs. Danielle Fitzgerald’s class recently focused on the school’s monthly virtue of honesty. In preparation, each student had drawn a picture of a situation where honesty served to protect the relationship of the persons involved. One student drew a picture of two people in a forest faced with a “No trespassing” sign, one saying, “OK, let’s go somewhere else.” In the student’s summarizing statement, he said, “We are being honest when we follow the rules. We need courage to be honest. We are honest when we tell the truth, even if other people don’t agree.”
