Every middle school student who participated in our annual STEAM Showcase succeeded!
Each year, Carver invites its middle school students to compete in a STEAM Showcase. You have undoubtedly heard that STEM, which stands for an educational focus in science, tech, engineering and math, has changed to STEAM, to include the arts. Carver students recently gathered in the Carver Community Center gym to exhibit their STEAM creations.
Please join us in giving a round of applause to all our young participants! Award Certificates were given out and the team that won the Best Overall project received an Amazon gift card in the amount of $30.00 for each team member.
The Overall Best Teamwork Award goes to the Nathan Hale Middle School’s Lego presentation.

National School Lunch Hero Day Honors Our Frontline Workers Dedicated to Serving Up Happy and Healthy in Norwalk's Schools
Preparing kid-favorite recipes? Helping students fuel up for an afternoon quiz or the big game? Creating a place for kids to relax and connect with friends? Sharing healthy eating habits to last a lifetime? Serving up happy and healthy in school cafeterias across the country? It's no small feat checking all that and more off the list each day, and it's all thanks to the dedicated lunch ladies and men showing their superpowers as heroes of the cafeteria!
Tomorrow, Friday, May 5th, Chartwells K12 which also serves Carver kids in our after-school and summer programs, celebrates National School Lunch Hero Day to recognize its chefs, dietitians, and food service workers making mealtime fun in schools across the country. In honor of School Lunch Hero Day this year, Chartwells is sending every associate a special edition apron, or cape turned backward, as a tribute to their superhero status serving 2 million meals a day to students and ensuring kids leave the cafeteria happier and healthier than they came in.
School Lunch Heroes at Norwalk Public Schools are superb at serving happy and fun! From closing out the school year with a "Rock the Bike Tour" with the district's new blender bike to share nutrition education to giving students a chance to vote on lunch favorites and consistently offering new menu options from smoothies to global cuisines, happy cafeterias start with them!

The online USDE College Scoreboard helps you find the right fit!
Our recently concluded 51st annual Spring Break College Tour was a great success, as reported daily by our students on this blog.
In addition to visiting college campuses, the U.S. Department of Education’s College Scorecard offers a free online tool to help students of all ages, families, educators, counselors, and other college-access professionals make data-informed decisions when choosing a college or university to attend.
Through an open and easy-to-use website, the Scorecard supports students on their pathway to college and future careers by increasing the transparency of information that will help them understand the benefits of higher education, such as college costs, student debt, graduation rates, admissions test scores, and acceptance rates, student body diversity, post-college earnings, and much more!
Students Heaven Branch and Madison Watts report from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University on the Spring College Tour

By Heaven Branch, 11th grader at Brien McMahon High School, and Madison Watts, 10th grader at Norwalk High School
Our visit to North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NCAT) was terrific. Our tour guide Colbea emphasized the welcoming nature of the university. This was our final college; our positive experience meant we ended on a high note.
NCAT is a public, Historically Black College or University (HBCU) in Greensboro, North Carolina, home to the Aggies.
The school opened in 1891 and currently has approximately eleven thousand students enrolled. There is a wide selection of majors available to students, and its nurturing environment offers a place for everyone. NCAT offers incoming students, sophomores, and juniors the chance to receive many scholarships. Honors students have selective access to more desirable housing. To become eligible for the honors program, you need a 3.75 GPA. Some housing buildings are co-ed, while others are gender specific.
The school has excellent benefits and an upgraded sports facility for its students. Throughout the tour, we experienced a welcoming feel. We were very impressed with the gymnasium and student center. NCAT is ahead of other schools we visited with their integrated robots into student life. The many food options available to students are supported by robots delivering food to dorms. Study abroad programs are available to students, which interests us. We want to experience different cultures and learn through experience during our collegiate journey. Students currently attending NCAT make the college feel a lot like home. Greek life is huge at NCAT, and the Divine Nine fraternities and sororities are alive here.
The experience that we had touring this university was terrific. We never thought we would be so enthusiastic about attending a school so far from home. We are eager to enroll at an HBCU and fully experience the pride and passion. Our hope is to be committed to this University this time next year. GO AGGIES!!
