Final week of school events!

Congrats on another wonderful school year!  Here are a few reminders as we wind down this week.  Monday is CIAA field day, so send your kiddos with a good healthy breakfast.  Wednesday will be our final day of school and it will be a half day for students.  Please remember to follow up on returning any supplies or library books that may still be outstanding before Wednesday.  Thank you to all of our parents for being so involved and for supporting your students this year!

Field Day Rescheduled!

Just a quick note to remind parents that our CIAA field day date has been rescheduled to next Friday, May 10th, due to the forecast of inclement weather tomorrow!

Thomas the Train comes to CIAA!

 

Recently, the City of Covington officials toured local schools with Thomas the Trash Train to inspire young children of our community to keep Covington beautiful.  The first graders at Covington Integrated Arts Academy learned the importance of putting trash in its place. They received a demonstration from Covington Public Works about how material is gathered to keep our community clean.  Students and families were encouraged to participate in the annual Clean up Covington campaign which is held from April 6th-13th.  This yearly campaign focuses on keeping our community trash free.

Student Council Attends Weather Road Show!

 

The CIAA Student Council, along with several teachers, recently attended the WMC Channel 5 Weather Road Show held at Dyersburg State Community College.  While the students were visiting the Jimmy Naifeh Center at DSCC in Covington, they also enjoyed meeting the television news and weather hosts Justin Hanson and Dave Brown!  They returned with lots of knowledge about storm chasing and other areas of meteorology!

What is Fashion Board you ask?  Great question!  Our 7th and 8th grade girls who have good grades and conduct are eligible to participate in Fashion Board under the direction of Mrs. Dickerson, 7th and 8th grade teacher and former co-owner of the John Robert Powers Modeling school in Memphis.  This opportunity allows our young ladies at CIAA to learn to dress for success, identify and practice business and social manners, and learn how to runway model the newest fashions.  Mrs. Dickerson has a vision for these young ladies to be able to embrace their inner beauty and intelligence, to present a confident and lady like appearance, and to practice good manners for the betterment of themselves and their future success.  Here is a sneak peek at the last presentation these beautiful young ladies participated in!
