Carver’s longtime benefactor, Bankwell, renewed their support with a generous grant of $10,000 to help us extend the school year for Carver students. The donation gave students virtual access to Carver teachers and staff to receive the extra support they needed to not fall behind academically. The structured time with the students also benefited parents who continue to juggle multiple priorities during this time.
“Carver is profoundly grateful for Bankwell’s amazing support through the years, and especially for this year’s $10,000 investment in our students,” said Novelette Peterkin, CEO of the Carver Foundation of Norwalk. “This support helps us close opportunity gaps for our nearly 2,500 students and prepare them for success in school and life. We cannot thank everyone at Bankwell enough for joining us in our important work.”
