I was really surprised at what I learned and I now have a better understanding on how my child has been doing her homework. I was really getting lost for a while since her newly learned method was different from the way that I had learned math many years ago. However, the instructors gave us, the parents, what I consider some very disturbing news.

He went above and beyond his planned project and installed an additional 100ft of fence to completely enclose the perimeter fencing at the back of our campus. Obtaining the rank of Eagle Scout is not easily accomplished and as a former Boy Scout, I know that the Eagle Scout project is a task that requires a lot of preparation and a lot of hard work. Thank you Mr. Charlie Wilcher, your project has improved Covington St. School.
