Remember the gift you shared in the offering plate on Christmas Eve? Because of your generosity, Covenant provided fourth graders from Highland, our CMS partner school, with a field trip to Old Salem to learn about history, cooking and 18th century life. 

"The smiles, questions, laughs, and tons of learning that took place will certainly hold a special place in their hearts forever!" said Nicole Barrow, a math teacher at Highland.

What's next? Freedom School is a chance to lift up children at Highland. There are many ways to volunteer for the summer program from June 18 through July 26. Learn more here.
