Welcome Officer Stallings to Carter & MacRae!!!!

Today, we are excited to welcome Officer Stallings with the Lancaster City Bureau of Police to our community school!

Officer Stallings is our new TEAMS officer, supporting all elementary schools within the School District of Lancaster located in the City of Lancaster. Our students and staff are excited to have her as part of our team.

Officer Stallings has already made a positive impact by welcoming students and families at our arrival gate, helping create a warm and welcoming environment as they enter the building. She has also joined our students during recess to play kickball and build positive relationships.

We are also excited to partner with Officer Stallings to bring enrichment opportunities, educational activities, and meaningful learning experiences into our classrooms.

We are grateful to have her as part of our Carter & MacRae family!
