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.
