Carver community children and families visited with Santa and his reindeer and elves at our annual Holiday Party.

See all the photos here in our Facebook album.

Students from the 11th grade class at St. Luke’s School delivered the magic and fun again this year for our kids and their families.

Campbell Snacks employees visited Carver to wrap literally a mountain of donated toys.

The gifts came from many friends, including the Rowayton Fire Department; St. Luke’s School; Person to Person; and the Children's Connection at the Human Services Council.

The staff of the Community Fund of Darien and the New Canaan Community Foundation decorated the Carver Community Center hours before the party.

The 11th Grade class of St. Luke’s School hosted the Holiday Party with music, games, face painting, delightful holiday refreshments, and even a magical Santa visiting from the North Pole to receive each of our children!

The Carver community greatly benefits from the very generous financial support the Community Fund of Darien and the New Canaan Community Foundation award us. But the staff go further in giving by working together for the benefit of our community. Today, they decorated the Carver Community Center gymnasium in preparation for our annual Holiday Party this evening.

GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world on December 3, 2019 and every day.

This fundraising campaign was created in 2012 as a simple idea to follow Black Friday and Cyber Monday days of buying: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past seven years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

Carver invites you to participate in our community of students and families today, tomorrow, and every day!

Our Giving Thanks for You

Wherever you are, whatever you are planning for Thanksgiving, please know that we are thankful for you.

Unlike the first Thanksgiving when the Pilgrims had to prepare for the long winter ahead, we are fortunate that we do not experience these difficulties anymore. We are grateful for the support and love you give the Carver community, which will help our young people grow up to support themselves and, like you, give back to the community.
 
Thank you for helping us create new opportunities for learning and life for more than 2,500 very capable students this year in 17 Norwalk schools, the Carver Community Center, and at the Classical Studies Magnet Academy in Bridgeport.
 
Thanks for joining us every day, but most of all, by a long shot, thanks for the tremendous difference you make in the lives of our bright young scholars. 

On behalf of our Carver youth and families, let me call upon Shakespeare to express our gratitude.

“I can no other answer make but thanks,
And thanks, and ever thanks.”
Twelfth Night
 
“My life itself, and the best heart of it,
Thanks you for this.”
Henry VIII
