Alumni have been returning regularly and enthusiastically to Carver through the decades, but now in this 75th anniversary year an alumni association is forming under the leadership of a committee led by Erik Clemons.

The first of many more reunions to come will be held on Friday, February 22, 2013, 6pm to 9pm, at the Carver Community Center for alumni 21 years of age and older. We are expecting a full-house!

Please RSVP to Elsie Lopez, 203-838-4305 or elsie@carvercenterct.org.

Please do join us on this sentimental journey! Share your stories and photos. Some will come from great distances. The love our alumni have for “the Carver” is phenomenal and speaks to the experience our youth are enjoying today.

During the planning meetings we are realizing just how many Carver graduates are close by, how much friendship and community matter to you, how proud you are of Carver, and how much you care about the Carver mission.

What Carver means to you is worth more than any news articles or statistics measuring Carver’s success, as favorable as these are. In your exchanges, encounters, and get-togethers, you keep the Carver spirit alive for generations to come.

As you renew ties at your reunion and rediscover Carver, you will see and hear throughout the event that Carver represents more than ever an open and diverse learning environment, a closeness to the community, a strong network, and a commitment to the highest quality of learning and personal development.

We at Carver, in turn, look more and more to you, our alumni, who have the strongest vested interest in your alma mater. You represent the vitality and future of our community. Your commitment and continued support are deeply treasured.

See you on the 22nd at The Carver!

St. Aloysius School celebrates the season with Carver kids!

St. Aloysius School parents Gayle Rigione and Diane Blasco, and Carver Board member Janine Smith, and their children and fellow St. Aloysius students organized a Fall Leaves project for Carver’s CASPER  K-2nd grade kids yesterday. They discussed cycles in nature and how reduced sunlight in the fall causes the leaves to change color. Carver kids traced their hands on construction paper resembling leaves, colored in their images and then glued them to a headband they wore with pride. And then they all had GoGurts and other nutritious snacks!

St. Aloysius School is located in the heart of New Canaan, adjacent to the St. Aloysius Church. The school is coeducational for kindergarten through grade 8. It draws its student population from fifteen zip codes. St. Aloysius School offers a unique balance of faith, academic excellence, and service to the community. A measure of the school’s success is that 30% of the eligible student body qualified for the Johns Hopkins Talent Search in 2010. The school is a 2010 Blue Ribbon School recognized by the United States Department of Education for its students’ achievements in reading and mathematics. This achievement places St. Aloysius in the top 50 of all participating private schools nationally.

Carver thanks St. Aloysius School for caring!

Monroe student Mykaela Coughlin promotes charity in Monroe and Swaziland.

This is simply about the amazing ability of youth to care and to take action that inspires the rest of us. Carver kids just returned from their own effort to lend a helping hand to their peers in Nicaragua (see posts below). This blog is about Carver Heroes, and the most celebrated among them are our youth, our future.

This is their annual team project to clean-up after summer camp and to prepare the building for the new school year.

THANK YOU, good friends, for making this annual commitment to keeping our aging community center attractive and especially for what your attention and care mean to our youth! Even after relocating recently to Stamford from Norwalk, you remain faithful to our kids. Your excitement for Carver is what makes the difference in the lives of our youth. You believe in them and we are grateful!
