the end of a story....

Here we are at the last week of school!  I hear often around the school:  "Wow, how did that happen?"  While the day-to-day rhythm can sometimes feel like a long time, in hindsight it seems to be a whirlwind.  It seems like not that long ago that the kids piled off of the buses for their first day - fresh clothes and school supplies, excitement to be back, hesitance at what this school year would bring....

At our opening assembly, we wondered together what this year's story would be.  Throughout the year, we have reminded one another that we are a part of God's story.  No matter what, he is the author and Lord of our lives, and we can trust Him because He made us and we are His.  Together, we have accepted the work that He had planned for us.  That hasn't always been easy work, but it has been good work.  Please join us again this Friday for our closing chapel when we close off this year's story and again praise God for His faithfulness.

Along with thankfulness to God, we also must say thank you to the many, many people who make Covenant the place it is and allow us to do the many things we do!!  Parents, especially, take time to step up and help where needed in so many ways.  Thank you to the office volunteers, bus drivers, our custodian, Educational Assistants, librarian, coop students, classroom volunteers, event planners, TRIP volunteers, and those serving at community events.  Your direct involvement in the lives of the students, supporters, and visitors to the school is the hands and feet of Christ in our community.  To those of you on committees or working behind the scenes, we thank you as well!  Often without thanks, you continue to give in ways that we don't immediately see, but we do experience in a well run school!  We are blessed and strengthened by your giving!

As you head into the summer, continue to take hold of God's story and remain rooted in God's promises.  He has known us since before we were born, and continues to have good works for us to do!  We will see you again, Lord willing, on Tuesday, September the 8th!!
