“They have been with me three years now,” coach Colin Anderson said of his senior duo. “They have certainly been sort of the leader figures of our team. Last year Josiah finished second in the state, which is the best finish we have ever had. They are paving a new course. They are both captains of our team.

Check out this slide show of 2012 International Day at Covenant’s Lower school. Each class studied a different country for the entire week- the culture, customs, food, language, history, geography, and more!  The study culminated with an all-school assembly that took students on a “trip around the world’ as each class made a presentation to share what they learned. Kindergarteners celebrated the USA during the Lower School’s International Week Assembly.
