Carver recently received a donation of winter coats for ALL of our students donated by Accenture and facilitated through Operation Warm! As the weather gets colder, we are so grateful for a generous community that makes sure our students have the winter gear they need to stay warm. Thank you to the volunteers from Accenture, Principal Financial, and MidAmerican Energy for making the event happen! Operation Warm
