Plan to attend the Carver Elementary School “Make a Difference Day” yard sale and silent auction at the school on Saturday, October 28, from 8 to 11:30 a.m.

The event is sponsored by the school’s PTO and Partnering, Educating, Empowering, Role modeling and Service (PEERS) student organization.

School staff, parents, students, business leaders and local citizens will be participating in the event. Everyone in our community is urged to volunteer at the event, donate items for the yard sale and silent auction and attend the event to purchase items for the fundraiser.

The goal of the day’s event is to fill Peer Cheer Pouches, involving one-gallon-size storage bags packed with new items such as toiletries, hand sanitizer, washcloths, non-perishable foods or snack items, school supplies, games, toys, stuffed animals, clothing and more. The Peer Cheer Pouches will be given to needy families in the Carver school area, a local shelter, orphanages, hospital and other charitable organizations. Carver’s goal is to fill 600 Peer Cheer Pouches.

Please get involved in this very worthy “Make a Difference Day” event!

For more information you may contact Teresa Hicks, counselor and PEERS adviser, and Henri Parham of the Carver PTO, at the school at 252-438-6955.

A ribbon cutting was held on Friday, September 30th for Carver Elementary School as they celebrated their new multipurpose room was officially dedicated in memory of Eddie Wright, the late Vance County Board of Commissioners’ member who proved to be the school’s biggest advocate in getting the facility constructed.

All of the 225 students in the school were joined by the entire school staff, parents, friends and local officials in dedicating the new multipurpose room and participating in a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Marion Perry, a valuable and outstanding supporter of Carver Elementary, presented the plaque, which will hang in the new facility, commemorating the amazing contributions of Wright. She presented the plaque to Wright’s widow, Maresa, and their two daughters, Sabrina and Ashley.

In making the presentation, Perry talked about Wright’s devotion to Carver Elementary School and all public schools in Vance County. She said they often shared conversations about the importance of education and their mutual passion for helping children.

Principal David Westbrook told the audience that the handsome, wooden plaque, with a color photo of Wright, will be placed at the front entrance of the new multipurpose room.

Several local dignitaries were on hand to offer comments of praise for Wright and his steadfast support of the school and local children. Those who spoke included: Gloria J. White, chairwoman of the Vance County Board of Education: Gordon Wilder, chairman of the Vance County Board of Commissioners; Henderson Mayor Eddie Ellington; John Barnes, president of the Henderson-Vance County Chamber of Commerce; and Dr. Anthony Jackson, superintendent of Vance County Schools.

Students and teachers from the school assisted with the ribbon-cutting, which was led by White. Mrs. Wright and her daughters also participated as did all of the local officials in attendance.

“This is a great day for our school,” Westbrook said. “We are so proud to have this wonderful facility for our students. We will always remember Mr. Wright for his amazing support in making this new facility possible.”
