Jade’s Garden: “Free Book Library” Donations Welcome

Jade’s Garden is a beautifully renovated memorial courtyard for our Early Childhood students. Seven years ago, the Covenant community experienced the devastating loss of one of our own precious students. Adored by her teachers and classmates alike, Jade Williamson was full of life and joy as she prepared to begin kindergarten in the fall of 2016. A sudden illness, just shy of her fifth birthday tragically took Jade’s life and left her family and loved ones shattered. Our community grieved with the Williamsons, prayed together, and celebrated Jade’s short life, while promising never to forget her beautiful spirit. Jade was a gift to us all and we will always join with Adam, Jenny and Jacob (Gr. 10) in keeping her memory alive. God has been faithful and true and the Williamson family will attest to the many ways that God has used this tragedy, bringing beauty out of ashes. If you have never had the chance we encourage you to visit Jade’s Garden in between our PreK and Kindergarten classrooms. 

Mrs. Granda has been doing some much-needed spring updates to Jade’s Garden and noticed we are low on books in the Free Book Library. If you’d like to contribute gently used books for ages 3-7 about nature, farms, gardens, plants, animals, bugs, or weather, please drop them off at the main office or reach out to Mrs. Granda for more information: holly.granda@ccamail.org.

The Classical Roots Program is looking for CCA families who want to get their hands dirty!

You and your kids get to learn about organic gardening.

Watch Our Students Shine: Tune in to Channel 5 for a Special Shout Out with Meteorologist David Williams!

Friday, May 10th | 4:30–7:30 am | Channel 5 Eye-Opener News

About a month ago CCA students in grades 2-4 enjoyed a very informative visit from local meteorologist David Williams. At that time, as is customary for these school visits, we ended our time together with a brief “Shout Out” by the students which was recorded and will be shown on Channel 5 on May 10th during the Eye-Opener Newscast between 4:30 and 7:00 am. It will likely be shown several times throughout that time. 

We hope you will be able to tune in or record this fun moment!

Lost in a Fairytale: Join us for the Promenade!

Saturday, May 4th | 6:30–10:00 pm | Ferncroft Country Club

SOPHOMORE | JUNIOR | SENIOR PROM

Get ready to capture memories that will last a lifetime! Parents, friends, and family – grab your cameras and join us for an unforgettable Promenade. Witness the glamour and excitement as our students make their grand entrance, beginning at 6:30 pm sharp.

The Promenade is a fun CCA tradition where students are announced as they walk out in pairs or small groups and have their pictures taken. After all the groups have been announced, we will take a large group picture.

Join us at the Ferncroft Country Club located at 10 Village Rd, Middleton, MA 01949. As you pull in the relatively long driveway and through the parking lot you will see buildings ahead of you on the right and the left. If you stay in the middle you will be able to drop off your students at a circle drive. After dropping off your students, you can park in the parking lot and then return toward the circle drive where you dropped them off. Head to the far side of the circle drive where there is a patio with a couple of fire pits. Friends and family will hang out by the patio and grass area. For the promenade, the students will walk from the building down the path to the patio where you will be able to take their pictures.

Students should arrive for the Promenade at 6:15 pm.

The prom is from 7:00–10:00 pm.

See you there!
