Principal’s Message |

Good Things Happening at Covington! If rainy weather gives you the blues, let me try to change the shade! One afternoon last week I found myself with a bit more bounce in my step caused by the great things I was seeing around campus. My position allows me to get a broad view of all that is happening, but knowing I can’t be everywhere at once (don’t tell your child that), I sent the entire staff a Google doc and asked them to share what good things they were seeing at Covington. Below is a condensed list of what was shared:
• Kids are doing a good job recycling at lunch time. • FIT is out on Wednesday’s and Thursday’s at lunch for lunchtime games (thank you PTA!) • Well-attended Origami Club in the Lair on Thursdays •Second Grade working on concepts of balance and motion building and testing Rope Runners. • Students actively listening during flag salute are showing respect to the speakers. • Volunteers helping in every way to make Covington great! (Thank You!) • 4th grade did a Design Thinking Challenge for Island of the Blue Dolphins • Students recognizing one another for living the Coyote Way - distributing tickets for positive behaviors. • Kids are working hard on STEM expo projects • 1st grade working on design thinking project to redesign Room 32 • Animal Assisted Happiness visiting the Special Day classes. • Continued reverse mainstreaming happening which really took off after our wonderful Abilities Awareness week. • Kids come to STEM Lab to help clean and organize without prompting! • Responsible 6th graders helping out on rainy days as room monitors. • Students acknowledging others by saying, “good morning” • Fantastic events like the Spaghetti Dinner (1/20) and last Friday’s Father Daughter Dance. Again, this is just a short list of the good happenings at Covington. If I missed something you have noticed, please send me an email and I’ll keep the list updated. Stay dry and safe, Wade Spenader Principal |
