Waldorf Education is approaching its 100th anniversary in 2019. At Carver we have received daily postcards from Waldorf schools around the world. Carver students are sending postcards to many Waldorf schools worldwide.
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Waldorf education and to highlight Carver's 10th Anniversary, Carver is hosting the annual Alliance of Public Waldorf Education Conference over Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend, January 12-15.
Parents are welcome to attend the conference and we will need many student volunteers to work with Mme Fain. More details will follow.

Support Waldorf Curriculum at Carver
WE NEED YOUR HELP! State funds, which have covered the cost of Main Lesson and other Waldorf curriculum and supplies at Carver in the past, are no longer available. The GWC Guild hopes to raise the $24,000 needed to support Carver for the 2017-18 school year. Our goal is to raise $125 per student, but the Guild realizes each family's ability to give is different and all levels of support are appreciated.
