3 Carlos Elementary 5th Graders wanted to come up with a way to honor their "buddy" Kortni Botzet of Carlos who drown at the Holiday Inn in Alexandria. The boys felt that they should do something and were persistent about it. At the track and field event for the 5th Graders, Kortni was honored. With all of the Carlos Students participating, there was not a dry eye to be seen as Austin Johnson-Wakely gave a speech and devotion as to what the bandannas were for. The 5th Grade class is led by Mr. Tim Urness, who said that the boys and their parents did most of the work to make this idea a go. He couldn't be any prouder of his students.
I think it is fabulous that these boys were persistent about honoring Kortni at their Track and Field event. I am so proud to say that I attended Carlos Elementary and I too, had Mr. Urness as a fifth grade teacher. I am so impressed that these boys went above and beyond the call of duty for Kortni and her family. I know that it was well appreciated by the Botzet family and their friends.
