Carver Elementary to Be Awarded the Greg Osterdyk Community Service Award
Greg Osterdyk
Several years ago the City of Carver created a community service award designed to recognize the time, support, service, and dedication that individuals and organizations have given unselfishly to our community. Last year the City Council renamed the award program after the late Mayor, Greg Osterdyk, in recognition of his many years of service and dedication shared with the community.
It’s our distinct pleasure to share that the staff and teachers of Carver Elementary have been selected to receive the 2020 Greg Osterdyk Community Service Award!!!
Their actions to assist displaced residents during a recent fire call, as well as their collective efforts to meet new learning challenges during the ongoing pandemic provide a few examples of the compassion and empathy modeled by the teachers and staff at Carver Elementary on a daily basis!
Congratulations and thank you so much for your service to the Carver community!
The City Council will formally recognize Carver Elementary at their Monday, December 21 meeting at 7:00 pm.
