🖤💛 HOMECOMING 2026: Through the Eyes of Our Littlest Trojans!
📣 WE’VE GOT SPIRIT, YES WE DO! WE’VE GOT SPIRIT—HOW ’BOUT YOU?! 📣

There’s just something special about Homecoming in a small town—and today, our littlest Trojans got to be right in the middle of the excitement! 🥰🏈🎶

Our halls were filled with black & gold as the Trojan band, cheerleaders, and football players paraded through CES while our elementary students lined the way, cheering, waving, and collecting as many high-fives as they could! 🙌

The smiles say it ALL. ❤️

These are the moments that build Trojan Pride—when our youngest students get to look up to the big kids and imagine themselves wearing that uniform, playing that instrument, leading that cheer, or representing Covington someday.

Today they were the littlest Trojans cheering them on...but before we know it, they'll be the BIG Trojans walking these halls giving out the high-fives. 🥹
Happy Homecoming, Covington! GO TROJANS! 🖤💛🏈📣🎶

🎓 College GO! Comes to Life for CES Third Graders! 🌟
Following our celebration of College GO! Week, our third grade students had the opportunity to spend the day at St. Mary-of-the-Woods—giving them a chance to actually step onto a college campus and experience a little bit of college life for themselves! 🎓

Throughout College GO! Week, we encouraged our students to DREAM BIG, discover their strengths, and think about all the possibilities waiting for them in the future. A visit like this helps take the abstract idea of “someday I might go to college” and bring it to life! 💭➡️🎓

While on campus, our third graders participated in hands-on science lessons presented by St. Mary’s education majors, exploring forces, conservation, erosion, and how to safely and respectfully act around animals. 🔬🐾 What a great opportunity to learn from future educators while seeing firsthand what learning can look like on a college campus!

But the learning wasn’t the ONLY thing that stood out. 🌟
Our third graders made such a positive impression that they even received a special compliment from the St. Mary-of-the-Woods Admissions Office for the way they represented themselves during their visit! 👏👏👏

We spend a lot of time at CES talking about being kind, respectful, responsible, and making good choices—even when no one from CES is standing right beside you.THIS is what that looks like! 💛

Great job representing yourselves, your families, and Covington Elementary so well, third grade. We are proud of you, Trojans! 🖤💛

And to St. Mary-of-the-Woods and their education majors—thank you for opening your campus to our students, providing such a fun and memorable day of learning, and helping us show our students what their futures could hold! 🎓🌟
