Principal's Message

Happy Passover! Happy Easter! Happy Ramadan! 

Last week was a busy week at Cove with 5th graders at NatureBridge for outdoor science education Wednesday through Friday and 4 classrooms displaced by the flood in rooms 1-4 (which is just about back to normal---the playground work is close to being finished).

And, we are looking forward to all of the exciting happenings coming up this spring. We hope you can join us for Family Art and Recess Night on Thursday, April 21 (fingers crossed for good weather, otherwise we will reschedule to a rain date)!

Sincerely,

Michelle Walker, Principal
