Carter Patterson, a talented 5th grader and author of two books (with a third one in the works), recently visited Ms. Ford’s class to share his inspiring story. Carter took the time to read to the class, captivating the students with his words and allowing them to step into the world of storytelling through his books. After reading, Carter encouraged the students to dream big, reminding them that no dream is too far out of reach. His words resonated deeply with the class, as he shared how he began writing at a young age and the importance of persistence and believing in oneself. Carter’s visit was a powerful reminder to students that no matter their age, they can achieve amazing things if they set their minds to it. We’re excited to see what’s next for this young author and grateful for the inspiration he provided!
