Fiesta Covenant Update
We had another successful fundraiser on Saturday, March 7!  Preschool friends and supporters joined together at Santa Rita Cantina for a night of fun, fellowship and fundraising.  It was an amazing event that raised over $16,000. Thank you to each and every family who contributed time, energy and of course funds to help keep our school operating. Covenant is a true non-profit and we rely on every dollar raised to keep our program functioning and to offer enrichment opportunities such as Music and Spanish.  This event was made possible all through the hard work of other Covenant Parent Advisory Team members and Covenant teachers and staff. Thank you to everyone!
