The Covenant School

An Open Letter to the Class of 2026 ❤️

Somehow the little kids with oversized backpacks became the leaders of our school.

We watched you grow up in these hallways. We watched you sing in Chapel, perform on stage, mentor younger students, laugh with friends, and leave your mark on this community in a thousand different ways.

You are a class that has carried both joy and hardship with remarkable courage. Through it all, you kept showing up. You kept moving forward. You kept being there for one another.

As you turn the page to what comes next, we hope you leave knowing this:

You are known.
You are loved.
You are prepared.

Not because of your accomplishments, but because you belong to a God who has been faithful through every step of your story.

We are so proud of you, Class of 2026. Once a Covenant Knight, always a Covenant Knight. ❤️

Every year, our 6th graders end their final Chapel by singing “So Long, Farewell” from The Sound of Music… and every year it somehow makes us laugh and cry at the exact same time.

There is just something about seeing these kids fully commit to the dramatic exits, silly moments, dancing, singing, and big personalities one last time on the Chapel stage.

It feels impossible that the little kids who once stood nervously in the front row are now the ones leading the room and taking their final bow.

To the Class of 2026:
Thanks for the laughter, the memories, the chaos, the joy, and the life you brought to this place. We are going to miss you so much. ❤️ Once a Knight...Always a Knight!

Field Day 2026 ☀️❤️🖤🤍

There is just something about Field Day at Covenant.
The face paint. The team chants. The running, laughing, tug-of-war battles, dance parties, inflatables, and impossible levels of competitiveness over games like Musical Dots and Mexican Hat Catch. 😂

But underneath all the fun is something even better: community.

Older students cheering on younger students. Teachers jumping into the games. Friends celebrating each other. Kids being kids. Loudly. Joyfully. Completely.

These are the moments that become the memories.
The kind our students will still talk about years from now.

Known. Loved. Covered in grass stains.

Tiny caps. Big personalities. 🎓❤️

Today our little Knights walked across the stage at PreK Graduation, and somehow the same children who came in clutching backpacks and waving goodbye through tears are now confidently singing, smiling, and ready for Kindergarten.

This year was filled with letters, laughter, playground adventures, messy masterpieces, snack time conversations, and so much growth. But more than anything, these children were known, loved, and celebrated every single day.

We are so proud of this sweet class and cannot wait to watch them continue to grow. Kindergarten, here they come! ✨

Waddle. Howl. Salute. Cuddles. Island. Trot. 🐧🐺🧸🌺🔥

This morning’s PreSchool 4’s Vocabulary Parade was one of those “only at Covenant” moments that had the whole Chapel smiling. After spending the year learning new vocabulary words, each student chose a word, dressed as it, and bravely walked across the stage to share it with the entire school community.

And while the costumes were adorable, the real magic was watching these little ones stand in front of a packed room with confidence and courage. That is a BIG deal when you are four years old. 💛

At Covenant, we celebrate childhood while helping even our youngest students find their voice. Today they did just that… one vocabulary word at a time.

At Covenant, every child is known, loved, prepared… and every child has a place on the stage. ✨

This week, our 5th and 6th graders brought Frozen Jr. to life in the most beautiful way. From lead roles to ensemble moments, every student had a part in telling the story, and every student shined. Watching these children sing, dance, act, encourage one another, and step boldly into the spotlight was a reminder of the joy, confidence, and community that flourish when children are given the chance to be fully seen.

There was laughter, there were tears, there was “snow” falling in the theater… and there was so much heart.

We could not be more proud of these students. They worked tirelessly, supported one another beautifully, and gave our community a performance we will never forget. What a gift it is to watch children discover their voices and use them so courageously.

A heartfelt thank you to and for helping create such a magical experience for our students. Your generosity, creativity, and belief in the power of the arts continue to bless our community in extraordinary ways.

And to our incredible teachers, directors, volunteers, and families… thank you for helping make moments like this possible.

Theater at Covenant is about so much more than a performance. It is about confidence, belonging, joy, teamwork, creativity, and celebrating childhood. 💙❄️
