Covington Howler - 21 March
From Erin Green, Principal
Dear Covington Parents and Community Members:
Fashion’s Night Out – A Class Act!
On behalf of our staff, students and school, I would like to extend a HUGE thank you to Sangeeth Peruri, Jenny Bennett and the entire auction team, for a fabulous event last Saturday. The venue was wonderful and the special touches were fantastic. Thank you also to our staff and parents who participated in our Fashion Show, courtesy of Fina. Attendees appreciated all the time and effort that went into the evening. And thank you once again, to Suzanne Kasso for being such an outstanding MC. Once again, our Covington Community has shown its unity and support for our students and programs.
Science Fair
Congratulations to all our students who participated in our Science Fair this week. Tuesday’s Science night was fantastic and all week long students were enthusiastic to share their innovative and creative projects. Great job Covington Coyotes! Special thanks to Ingrid Choong for her leadership and coordination of our Science Fair.
Tomorrow is Teacher/Principal for the Day
Tomorrow the Auction Winners for Teacher & Principal for the Day will be hard at “work” in their various assignments. They will also share a special lunch with their teachers and the staff. Congratulations to all the winners!

The Pack picked up the pace last Friday. Cumulatively, The Pack ran a total of 155 miles. If we were running from Covington to Washington D.C. we'd be in Omaha, Nebraska! We've been running through Nebraska for a long time, but we're finally through. Hello Iowa! Congrats to The Pack for your awesome effort! Parents, please join us at Friday Flag Salute as we hand out another wave of ribbons. Covington Coyote Pack Runners are awesome!
