Cutter Morning Star Elementary School teacher KaChera Felts was among five winners in central Arkansas from Arvest Bank's recent statewide "We Heart AR Teachers" campaign, an initiative to honor the state's educators.
The campaign awarded 29 teachers with $500 gifts for their classrooms. Nominations were open to the public and were made via Arvest Bank's Facebook page.
The winners from central Arkansas included Sean Conrad from Joe T. Robinson High School in Little Rock, Meaghan Sitzmann from Cabot Middle School North, Rachael Chesshir from Hurricane Creek Elementary School in Bryant and Mary Jo Alexander from Morrilton High School.
"We are excited to honor our teachers for all they do to help the children in our community prepare for the future," said Asa Cottrell, sales manager for Arvest Bank in central Arkansas.
"Educators dedicate their personal time, and often their money toward their classrooms. We hope these gifts will be very beneficial to them, and their students."
A total of 870 nominates were submitted for the contest.
