Okarche Elementary recently announced its Real Warriors for the month of September 2021. Each month, a character trait is chosen for teachers to look out for and then award a child or children in each class. The teachers choose a student who has shown this character trait throughout the month. September’s character trait was “respect.” “The teachers looked for students who displayed this characteristic of seeing good in people and things and treating them with care,” Principal Chris Roby said. “Those who used good manners and treated others like they want to be treated.” Named a Real Warrior in pre-k through second grades were (pictured above), from left: front row, Jude Van Wagner, Wade Klinnert, Kinley Craig, Daniel McIlvain, Wesleigh Rother, Agustin Rivera; and back row, Alivia Hoke, Willa Griesel, Josh Rother, Zoey Rother and Memphis Voight. Earning the honor in third-sixth grades (pictured below) were, from left: front row, Lane Jacobs, Will Krittenbrink, Kendon Kremeier, Jackson Kremeier, Clara Warden, Kadyn Darst; and back row, Carson Wright, Weston Moore, Blakeley Stephens, Kenzie Harper, Gabe Mollohan, Addysan Boner and Elizabeth Austin.
