Friday’s assembly celebrated student leadership. We heard from Ms. Taylor’s class, Student Council and 2 students who ran the can drive in December. You can see more information in our assembly slide deck.

Principal's Message

Staff Appreciation Week is This Week!  We are so fortunate to have such outstanding teaching, support and administrative staff at The Cove School! This week, May 2-6 is Staff Appreciation Week and we hope you will join the PTO in making it a very special week. Throughout the week, we will shower them with a gift and a special luncheon from the PTO. And, on Friday, at our assembly we will recognize all staff with Coyote Awards and envelopes full of cards!

You can:

• Make a card at home for your teacher/s (give directly to the teacher/s on Wednesday, 5/4)

• Make a card for any other staff members you want to appreciate (drop it in the office by Wednesday, 5/4).  List of All Cove Staff Names

• Flower Day- Monday, May 2- Have your child bring a single flower for their teacher/s and anyone else they want to appreciate. You can divide up a bouquet for a few special adults to appreciate if you want!

Let’s come together and shower the Cove Community love on this very special group of people, our faculty and staff, who make such an important difference in our children's lives.

Sincerely,

 Michelle Walker, Principal

Boots & Bling Numbers More than 200 parents, teachers and staff attended the SPARK spring event at Hopmonk Tavern last week! We loved celebrating in person, dancing under the lights, and most importantly, raising money for our schools. The event grossed close to $160k from ticket sales, live auction, raffle, and the paddle raise. We invite all families who have not yet contributed to Annual Giving or made a payment towards their pledge, to do it now so that we can reach our $1.5M year-end fundraising goal! Support SPARK here.
