        <![CDATA[<p>Covenant School summer reading lists are&nbsp;posted by rising&nbsp;grade level. Students are required to choose books from these lists. Books may be purchased at a bookstore or borrowed from the library.</p>
<p>We strongly recommend parents take their child to the public libary to get their own library card and for weekly visits. </p>
<p>Instructions for summer reading journals and reports can be found on&nbsp;the grade level list.</p>
<p>The most important aspect of summer reading is for it to be interesting, enjoyable and stress-free for your child! When a child is reading for pelasure, books should be slightly below the child's reading ability level. If you feel your child is struggling and you have to help him or her with more that three words on a page, then the book is too difficult for independent reading.</p>
<p>Happy Reading! </p>

From the simple works of our youngest artists to the more sophisticated styles of our more experienced artists, individual interpretation is applauded.<br /><br />Whenever possible the classroom moves outside for "plein aire" art experiences.<br /><br />Our visual arts are seen through many facets. History, Music. Math and appreciation of other cultures are woven into every lesson. <br /><br /><br />]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Bible at Covenant is an integral part of&nbsp;the curruculum. We purpose to equip our children with knowledge of God's Word and a deep faith and trust in Jesus Christ. We emphasize that God loves each one of us exactly the way we are, because we are created in His image.</p>
<p>Students are taught scripture on a three-year cycle, working through the Bible twice during their years at the school. Students are trained to apply the stories of the Old and New Testaments to their lives today. Included in each lesson are ways that students can relate what they have learned to decisions they make on a daily basis.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Classes come to the library once a week to check out books from our growing collection. While students are in library they have story time, research topics for school projects, and learn library skills. </p>
<p>Students learn how to make selections, search independently, and discover their individual interests and reading capabilities. All students are read to aloud, and participate in critical-thinking discussions. Students also enjoy quiet reading time, providing an opportunity to relax during the school day.</p>
<p>The Birthday Book tradition is an opportunity to honor a child's love for reading by purchasing a favorite book to donate to the school library on the child's birthday. The student presents the book at Friday morning chapel where everyone can see the new library addition. A bookplate with the child's name and birthday is placed in the book prior to circulation.</p>
