Cove loves art, music and mindfulness! Just 2 more days to meet our participation goal...Let’s exceed the 65% participation goal! Can we count on you?
SPARK Giving Day is November 16th! Join us Tuesday morning on the blacktop at 8:15 to hear 5th graders sing a song and Mrs. Headley lead us in a mindful Cove in Motion!
During the SPARK Giving Day Participation Challenge, we encourage everyone in our community to show their appreciation for all our schools have to offer with a charitable gift to SPARK. Every donation to SPARK makes an impact just as every student benefits daily from new learning opportunities in music, art, science, technology, wellness and more. Thank you to the families and business partners who have already shown their commitment to our schools with a financial donation this year.
SPARK relies on parent support to help raise $1.5M this year. Please join our efforts with your gift to SPARK so our students can continue to receive an excellent and engaging educational experience, not just today, but in the future as well.
Thank you for all you do to support our schools and the LCMSD community.
With Gratitude,
Michelle Walker, Principal

We are also in need of tape, wrapping paper, tissue paper and bags. Please bring in items to the table in the gallery.
Yearbook Cover Voting The students have voted and the winner will be announced in June!
