Covington’s principals, Mrs. Holland and Mrs. Kenis, once again proved that a little magic goes a long way when it comes to showing appreciation for staff. This week, they transformed the staff lounge into a scene straight out of Wicked, the beloved Broadway musical — and the results were nothing short of spellbinding.
From the moment staff walked in, they were met with the glow of green accents, themed décor, and the soundtrack of Wicked playing in the background. The room was filled with the smell of fresh brownies and the sweet tang of candy, everything from sour gummies to chocolate treats, arranged beautifully across tables like a scene straight from the Emerald City.
Each detail showed the principals’ thoughtfulness and creativity. Treat boxes labeled for teachers brimmed with surprises that made everyone feel like they had just stepped into Oz. The students, of course, were full of curiosity, whispering in hallways and peeking at the mysterious boxes, eager to know what magical treasures their teachers had received.
As the movie Wicked played softly on screen, staff enjoyed a well-deserved moment of relaxation and camaraderie. It was more than just treats; it was a thoughtful gesture that reminded everyone how much care and appreciation lives behind the scenes at Covington.
Mrs. Holland and Mrs. Kenis’ effort turned an ordinary day into something extraordinary, a perfect blend of creativity, gratitude, and community. Their Wickedly Wonderful surprise wasn’t just about candy and décor; it was about creating joy, building connection, and reminding the Covington team that they are the heart of the magic that happens here every day.
