Hello Covington Middle School Families,

We hope this message finds you well and filled with gratitude for the brave men and women who have served our country. On Thursday, we had the privilege of hosting a truly inspiring Veterans Day program at our school. It was a heartwarming event that brought the entire community together to honor and express our deepest appreciation for the sacrifices of our veterans.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and participated in the program. Your presence and involvement made the event even more special, and your support meant the world to our students. Together, we celebrated the incredible bravery, patriotism, and selflessness exhibited by our veterans, instilling these values in our future generations.

Moving forward, we would like to remind all parents that next week is a four-day week due to no school on Monday.

Thank you for your ongoing support, and we look forward to continuing our journey together as a united school community.

Warm regards,

Cedric Maddox

Proud Principal
