Carter Lake Families,

This school year marked the theme, LOVE, to dedicate time to express and foster all the things we love about Carter Lake. In October, students and staff presented me with a handmade book of what they love about our school and the children's book, “Love,” by Matt De La Peña.

Students drew pictures of their friends, recess, and learning. They drew the flag and wrote about standing up for each other. They wrote about loving being Eagles, lunch, and seeing me get slimed!

We celebrated our students not only in April for the Month of the Military Child, but all year, in school activities and on stage, at SOAR assemblies, through their learning, and with the support of our fabulous staff, families, PTO and community partners.

Through it all, we felt the love our students have for Carter Lake – and we end the year knowing they feel the love we have for them, and the pride we have in their growth.

And all too soon, we will be saying farewell to our students moving or PCSing, and our 5th-graders moving up to middle school.

To quote the book, “There will come a day when you walk out these doors for the very last time. But it won't be luck you will leave with. You will have love.”

Carter Lake's love.

Thank you for an amazing year! Have a wonderful summer!

Marianne Rupprecht,Principal
