JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. -- The Virtue of the Month for January at Marrington Elementary School was discipline.

Each month, teachers select children from their classes who best demonstrate a specific character virtue the students have learned. At the school's special awards assembly, each child recognized for displaying self-discipline received a certificate and a button with his or her "virtue" of it.

Maintaining self discipline is a virtue that will serve children well throughout their lives. In school, a job or in life, having self discipline will always be appreciated, recognized and rewarded.

The Virtue of the Month winners for the month of January were:

101: Amara G.
