They enjoyed a BBQ meal on us and two

Varsity Basketball victories! There was

even a round of Knock-Out between all our

returning alumni and our alumni boys team

stats guy, Adam Mortenson, won the

competition. Two of our past headmasters,

Mr. Maurice Lopez and Mr. Joey Thames,

also attended this happy event.

"The Winter ball was really fun! Mr.

Canney was a great Dj and the food and

atmosphere were great. We had a really

good time!"

The Winter Ball

The Winter Ball was held on Saturday, January

20 and was thoroughly enjoyed by our 8th to

12th grade students. Before the dance the

students went out to eat downtown and then

enjoyed an evening with Headmaster Canney

playing the role of DJ. It was a fun night for all!

#Welovnewcov

I attended New Covenant School from

Kindergarten through 5th grade, then returned

my Junior year after 5 years at another private

school. When I returned to New Covenant my

junior year I made the varsity basketball team

and I have enjoyed being part of a State

Championship team. I have learned a lot from

Coach Miller and it was incredible to have an

undefeated season. I am looking forward to

winning the State Championship again this

year.

I have great memories of my years at New

Covenant including: hiding in the slide on the

first day of K5 from Mrs. Andreasen,

performing “Albuquerque, He’s My Turkey”

in 2nd grade with Mrs. Wyse’s class, laughing

and joking around in Mr. Wilkes class,

working on the yearbook staff, and many

great year end “field days.”

The greatest part of New Covenant is the

little things that build lasting memories.

Every time I go to sign out, Mrs. Lopez

always smiles and tells me to have a good

day. Although small instances, they make

the New Covenant experience “lit.”

I am looking forward to graduating in May.

My plans are to attend Tri-County

Technical College in the fall for college

transfer classes and then pursue a business

degree at Clemson University. I’m thankful

for the teachers I have had during my time

at New Covenant to prepare me for my

future. Go Cavs!

Boys Varsity Cavaliers

Carrigan Hovey: Just being the fantastic “family” that we are as a team. We are a

sisterhood, not just a basketball team. It has

been such a blessing to me to have these girls

as my sisters, family, encouragers, best

friends, and supporters.

Molly Landis: beating Oakwood for the first time in Lady Cavs history. It was

special because it was very much a team

win; everyone did their part and stepped

up when they needed to. It was

monumental for the program because it

showed the team could compete on a 2A

level. I am so thankful to play for a

program that prioritizes Christ before

anything else.

Stuart Marshburn: Creating great chemistry which made us more than a team,

but a brotherhood.

#Welovnewcov

This semester in preschool chapel we are

learning about the two greatest

commandments: Love God and Love

Others. These two commandments are

our foundation in the preschool for why

we do the things we do (i.e. love and

respect our teachers/peers, share our

toys, nice quiet lines in the hallway,

etc.). Love is so important and Jesus is

our perfect example of love. We pray

regularly that our students will not know

a day without Christ in their lives. Also,

we talk about the fact that we cannot

love God and love others without Christ

giving us a new heart. Once we have a

new heart we have the power of the Holy

Spirit in us to love God and love others.

On January 12, we had a very special guest

speaker come to chapel: Mrs. Deb Potter. She is a

local sheep farmer and more importantly the

grandma to one of our K3 students, Jane Potter.

Mrs. Potter brought her equipment and showed us

how she shears the sheep and uses the wool to

make yarn. It was all very interesting and the

students loved it! So neat to see how God

provides the wooly sheep to give us warm clothes

to wear. Mrs. Potter’s farm is called Merciful

Hearts Farm; she is on facebook, so look her up

and learn more about her farm. The pictures

below are from our visit with Mrs. Potter.

And [Jesus] said to him, “‘You shall love the

Lord your God with all your heart, and with all

your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the

great and foremost commandment. The

second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor

as yourself.’ Matthew 22:37-40

Financial Snapshot

Each year New Covenant School works

hard to stay within the confines of its

budget. The School Board and the

Headmaster do a good job of being

excellent stewards of the resources the

school has been blessed with. However, at

times our needs out pace our budget. Thus

we have created a Wish List to let people

who love NCS know how they can help.

How can you help? There are several

ways:

ONLINE: To support the school at any time

with a donation to our Scholarship Fund,

Christian Heritage Fund or Development

Fund, visit www.newcovschool.net/support-

ncs/ and click “GIVE NOW!”

BOXTOPS: Clip the box tops and turn

them in! The PTO will coordinate this effort

and send in our boxtops to earn the school

free money!

PUBLIX PARTNERS: Scan your school

partner card every time you check out at

Publix and our school will get a portion of

your purchase back in a quarterly check.
