It means a small flock of Quails! Coveys are comprised of all k-5 students who "flock"together in multi-grade level groups approximately 5 times a year (35 minute lessons) to enjoy time together talking and doing activities centered on important lessons such as: compassion, gratitude, cooperation, acceptance, etc. Coveys afford students the opportunity to make and keep friends across grade levels by having interaction with students and staff outside of their homeroom class. Older student are able to practice their leadership skills by mentoring the younger students. Younger students are immediately welcomed into the Quail Run community by their 'older' covey friends. Its a Win-Win! This year we will be focusing on the 7 Habits of Happy Kids book, written by Sean Covey and introduced to our building by our principal, Mr. Thies. We are looking forward to many great covey experiences this year! See link below for more information.
