Our History

In August of 2007, the school communities of Longfellow Elementary and Wallace Elementary merged to become George Washington Carver Community School. The Boys & Girls Club of Central Iowa and Iowa Lutheran Hospital joined with DMPS to support the needs of the local community in this effort, and share space on the Carver campus. The Ellis I. Levitt Boys and Girls Club serves the needs of several hundred children and families each year. The Not New Shop, Lutheran’s Auxiliary resale store, is located at the east end of the Carver building. The resale shop is open to customers six days per week.
