I’m excited to introduce myself as your new second grade teacher, Rachel Carpenter! With 18 years in elementary education and a Master’s in Literacy, I have spent the last 10 years in PSD at Rice Elementary in Wellington. I’m passionate about nurturing a love for reading and creating an engaging learning environment for all students. I love being a teacher and having the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of my students.

Outside of school, I enjoy biking, hiking around Fort Collins, and boating at Horsetooth Reservoir. At home, my husband Mike and I support our sons—Nate, who’s starting at CSU, and Travis, who’s entering his senior year at Fort Collins High School. I also have a cat named Cersei who’s a beloved part of our family and thinks she’s the queen of the house.

I’m looking forward to working with you and contributing to the Kruse community.
