Welcome to the Covington Elementary PTA Web site!

   Welcome to Covington Elementary!        

Welcome to Covington Elementary's PTA page and to our school! We are thrilled to have Mr. Erdly as our new Principal and looking forward to a wonderful school year to come. If you have any questions about the PTA or our school, please contact us at covingtonpta@yahoo.com or call Angela Stave, our PTA President, at 206-715-9259. We hope to see you at school or an event soon and welcome you to join the PTA as a great way to stay informed and get involved with your child's school.

 

 

Why PTA?

The PTAs purpose is to enrich the time our children spend at school.  We do this through funding items for the school that the schools budget is not able to cover such as playground balls and equipment, National Geographic for Kids subscriptions for each child, assemblies, awards for the Accelerated Reader program, and busses for school field trips; to name just a few.  We also do this through organizing after school events for families to enjoy together like Movie Nights and the Spring Carnival.  

Helping the school with Picture Day, the yearbook, and the facilitating of the AR program are also some of the things we do.  There are all types of volunteer opportunities available.  Some are very small and some require more effort.    Please join the PTA and help us enrich our children's lives.  Please do not think that you must attend every meeting or volunteer for every event.  We would love to have you share with our school community whatever time or talent you can.  As the old saying goes, Many hands make light work.

Contact Angela Stave at angelastave@yahoo.com if you have any questions.

Fundraising

Covington PTA fundraising directly impacts and benefits your children, their teachers and Covington faculty.  We need your participation to keep providing opportunities and support for Covington Elementary.

Our fall fundraiser is our biggest fundraiser of the year and all of the money earned through this goes directly to funding programs, supplies and activities for Covington Elementary. This fall the fundraiser will run from 9/28 through 10/12. The students will have a kick-off on 9/28 and bring home their order forms and catalogs that day. Please help them safely collect all orders and monies and turn them in by 10/12 or 10/13. PTA volunteers will be at the school on those two days collecting fundraiser packets and funds as the kids arrive at school. Thank you so much in advance for supporting the PTA and all that we are able to do for the children and Staff of Covington.

Welcome to a new year at Covington Elementary!  We are still involved in the eScrip fundraiser available in our area through Safeway.  All we need is the Safeway Club Card Number and the name and address of the Card Holder.  Once a card has been registered it allows Safeway to donate a portion of purchases made to Covington Elementary PTA.  This is a safe (information is for eScrip only and will not be shared in any way), free and easy way for our Covington Elementary PTA to earn money.   All money earned benefits every student throughout the year. Register your Safeway Club Card and/or credit card numbers at www.escrip.com, designating Covington Elementary as the group you want to support, and ESCRIP will automatically track your expenditures and send a check to our PTA.  After you have registered your card number, there is nothing else for you to do. There is nothing extra to buy.   You simply do your regular shopping and a percentage of the total amount you spent is donated to the school by Safeway.  From April 1, 2009-March 31, 2010, Covington Elementary earned approximately $374.00 from Safeway.  This is enough to pay for an assembly or Field Day and just think, all it took was some people going online and registering their cards.

 

Most of us use our phone number while shopping at Safeway.  Your card number is different and came on your Safeway Club card. If you need your Club card number, please call 1.877.723.3929.  Remain on the line at the prompt (do not enter #2 or #3).  You will then be asked to enter your phone number and will be transferred to an operator.  They will verify that you are the card holder using your date of birth, home address etc., prior to giving you your card number.  We appreciate you taking the time to join us in eScrip.
