In the letter this year, students wrote about themselves as a 7th grader, described life during a global pandemic, and ended the letter with a prediction about what they feel they'll be like as a senior at Lake Hamilton. Included with the letter is a class selfie and and individual selfie. Just like Mrs. Hale, Ms. Alexander will deliver the letters to these students in 2026 when they are seniors. #LHWolfNation
