RCS Fourth-Grade Students Honor U.S. Veterans
On Nov. 11, Rejoice Christian Schools’ fourth-grade students presented their annual Veterans Day Program. Students performed to classic songs for their family and area veterans during the program. A few students read essays about their appreciation for U.S. veterans and current military personnel. In those letters, students thanked veterans and military personnel for sacrificing their time and lives. 
RCS fourth-grade teachers Arilla Karlak, Shelly Johnston and Carol Kelley led the student production. RCS fourth-grade students and teachers offer a special thank you to the Owasso Fire Department for allowing the school to borrow a flag for the performance.
RCS fourth-grade students who performed in the program were Maya Anderson, Elle Armstrong, Peyton Baker, Amanda Barnett, Ginger Bell, Nathan Benson, Keaton Braggs, Chase Branscum, Candry Cariker, Hannah Carl, Kaleb Chesher, Alex Clarke, Dalton Close, Abby Cole, Emily Cook, Gavin Cook, Quentin Derby, Daniel Dimick, Finley Fisher, Jaron Foote, McKenna Gibson, Payton Golightly, Reagan Greenwood, Hadley Hall, Tyler Hannawalt, Lexi Henson, Lauren Hughes, Kaden Keller, Cynthia Kishner, Cy Kornegay, Jack Leatherland, Jay Miller, Erin O’Rourke, Allison Page, Anna Parker, Jaron Phipps, Kate Pirtle, Braelyn Presley, Claire Reimer, Bryce Revard, Kelsey Rozensky, Conner Shaw, Kiersten Shern, Declan Smith, Conner Tallon, Colby Thomas, Keely Thompson, Jack Volz, Madison Walker and Kayleigh Weare
