Dear Covington Community, Auction Success! I’m still amazed and impressed at the success and great time we had at Saturday’s auction. The turn-out was tremendous, the vibe was electric, and the generosity of our community was astounding. The choreographed moves of some of our dad’s was certainly a... highlight. Thank you! I want to publicly acknowledge Fionnula Loughran and Shauna McIntyre who chaired the auction. Both of them, with the assistance of their awesome team, produced one of the best auctions I’ve ever attended. The entire school recognized their efforts and accomplishments this morning at our flag assembly. Mindful Parenting Parent Education Night Please join us in our multi on Tuesday, April 4th at 6:30pm for Roni Habib’s presentation on Mindful Parenting. This program includes learning techniques for getting ourselves, as caretakers, in a mindful state. There will also be discussion on how we can employ mindful techniques when working with our children. I encourage all parents to attend this fantastic presentation. Open House is next week Thursday, April 6th is Covington’s Open House. This is an opportunity for you to visit your child’s classroom and let them share with you all of the amazing learning that is happening each day. Open House provides an opportunity for students and parents to reflect and discuss what is happening in the classroom. Enjoy the conversation with your child and see school through their eyes. In addition, this year the Art Docent show is in the multi, it opens at 5:30pm and closes at 7:30pm Classrooms are open from 6:00pm-7:00pm. I’m looking forward to seeing you there. Regards, Wade Spenader- Principal |
