Mrs. Covington’s Third Grade News
Hello parents,
We have almost made it 100 days this school year! The
100th day of school is this Wednesday, February 10th. To
celebrate this milestone, we are going to imagine we were
born 100 years ago in the year 1915. Students are
encouraged to dress up as 100 year olds. Check the TES
Facebook page for pictures of this year’s participants. 
