Dear Parents and Community Members:
First of all, thank you, for another wonderful year here at Covington! Looking back on this year, we have accomplished a great deal together for our students, and we could not have done it without each of you. Your time and support is incredible. From your 20,000 plus volunteer hours to your donations, organization and leadership at all school events; we appreciate each and every one of you more than you will ever know. On behalf of our students and entire staff, THANK YOU!
Farewell to our 6th Graders
Each year our departing 6th grade class gives a gift to our school community. This year our students have chosen to give Covington a new California Flag and replace the sporting equipment in our student Ball Room. Our incoming 6th graders will enjoy raising the new flag each day, as well as, checking out new sporting equipment to our student body. Thank you, 6th graders, for thoughtful gifts all of our students will be able to use and enjoy!
Schedule for the Last Day of School-Flag Assembly 8:15 am!
Tomorrow is our last day of school. Please remember that tomorrow, the last day; school starts at 8:15am for everyone! Immediately after the 8:15 flag assembly, our 6th graders will have their promotion ceremony in the Multi purpose room. Dismissal for K-5 is at 11:15.
Back to School Social-Save the Date Monday, August 19th 5pm.

MEDICATIONS AT SCHOOL –

Donations Requested
Brownie Troop 61164 - School Supplies Drive
We are so fortunate to have well supplied classrooms here at Covington. Unfortunately, not every school is this lucky - there are many schools within a 20 mile radius of here, as well as in developing countries that are getting by with much less than we are. As you know, at the end of each school year, some classrooms send excess supplies back home with your children. If you feel you could do without these at home, and would like to donate them to a school in a disadvantaged area, please place these supplies into the bin outside the school office. The bin will be outside the office until tomorrow. New supplies, or other very gently used supplies from home are welcome too. We will also be collecting supplies the first week of the new school year, so if you are stocking up for 2013/14, why not buy an extra set and donate those too.
Thank-you for your support. Troop 61164
