Covington Connection
November December Edition
It’s hard to believe we’re already in the final nine weeks of the school year. March certainly lived up to its reputation, coming in like a lion and, at times, sticking around that way. Here’s hoping April brings us some much-needed sunshine and a chance to enjoy the spring season a bit more.
Spring is always one of the busiest and most rewarding times of the year in our schools. Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen a great turnout at events across the district, and it has been encouraging to watch our students and families stay engaged. The weeks ahead are full of opportunities, classroom learning, performances, competitions, celebrations, and, of course, major milestones like graduation for our seniors. It’s an exciting time, and there’s a lot to look forward to.
As we navigate the final few weeks of school, staying focused is key. Warmer weather and the anticipation of summer can make it easy to lose momentum, but these last weeks matter. There is still important learning ahead, and it’s a chance for students to finish strong and reflect on how much they’ve grown this year. Encouragement at home goes a long way, helping students stay motivated and reminding them of the progress they’ve made can make a real difference.
I also want to take a moment to recognize our teachers and staff. The time, effort, and care you put into preparing students, especially during state testing season, do not go unnoticed. While testing is only one measure, the daily work you do to support, guide, and challenge our students is what truly makes an impact. Thank you for your professionalism, dedication, and consistency you bring each day.
Spring sports are now underway, and it’s great to see our student-athletes back in action. Whether competing on the field or track, they continue to represent our schools with pride. We wish all of our teams a successful season. The lessons learned through athletics, teamwork, perseverance, and accountability are invaluable and carry far beyond the game.
As we approach spring break, I hope everyone has the chance to rest and recharge. Whether you’re traveling or simply enjoying time at home, this is an opportunity to step away from the daily routine and reset for the final weeks ahead. We’re proud of the work our students have done so far and look forward to finishing the year strong, together.
Enjoy your break, and we’ll see you soon for the home stretch.
What a fantastic evening at Covington High School's Annual Spaghetti Supper!
With an incredible turnout, the event once again showcased the strength and spirit of our Buccaneer community. Families, staff, students, and community members gathered for a night filled with great food, wonderful music, and a shared commitment to supporting our students.
Our talented student musicians provided the perfect soundtrack for the evening, filling the room with energy and pride. Guests enjoyed a delicious meal while connecting with friends and neighbors, making it a truly special night for everyone in attendance.
Events like this don’t happen without an amazing team behind the scenes. A heartfelt thank you goes out to our dedicated food service staff, volunteers, maintenance team, students, and everyone who helped make this event so special. Your hard work and commitment made this event a tremendous success.
Beyond the great food and fellowship, the impact of the evening will be felt long after the last plate was cleared. Proceeds from the Annual Spaghetti Supper directly support our scholarship fund, helping to create meaningful opportunities for our students.
Thank you to everyone who attended and supported this special tradition. It’s nights like these that truly highlight what it means to be part of Team Covington.
The Covington High School Drama Club took the stage and delivered an outstanding performance of This Murder Was Staged!
Our talented cast and crew brought mystery, drama, and energy to life, showcasing the hard work and dedication they’ve poured into this production. From the performers on stage to the students working behind the scenes, every detail reflected their commitment and passion for the arts.
The performance also provided a wonderful opportunity for our younger students to experience live theater and cheer on their fellow Buccs, making it a special night for audiences of all ages.
Congratulations to the entire cast and crew on an incredible production! Your hard work truly paid off.
Covington Elementary’s Family Reading Night was a tremendous success, drawing a remarkable turnout of students and families for an evening filled with fun, laughter, and a shared love of reading.
In a perfect twist, Mother Nature joined in on the theme by delivering a light drizzle outside—setting the scene for our “It’s Raining Books!” celebration. Inside the building, however, the atmosphere was nothing but warm and bright, filled with smiling faces and the excitement of families learning and reading together.
Throughout the evening, families enjoyed a variety of creative, rainy-day themed activities. Students tried their luck at Hooks in the Rain fishing, played Drizzle Down Bingo Town, created Gratitude Cloud crafts, and cozied up for Flashlight Reading. A festive photo booth and Sprinkle Kindness crafts added even more opportunities for fun and connection.
Each student also received a free book to take home, encouraging the joy of reading to continue long after the event—and cupcakes provided a sweet ending to a wonderful night.
Events like Family Reading Night highlight the importance of literacy while strengthening the connection between school and home. They also showcase the heart of the Covington community, where families, staff, and students come together to support one another and celebrate their learning.
Thank you to our staff, dedicated volunteers, and supportive families who helped make this evening so special. It was definitely a night made for the books!
