CLS Golf Outing inviting all Alumni, Parents - Past and Present, and Friends
A MESSAGE FROM THE HEADMASTER
Dear Alumni, Parents, and Friends, During this Lenten season, I hope that this letter finds you well. For those of us who experience Covington Latin School on a daily basis, we find ourselves deep-seated in helping students achieve their greatest level of spiritual, intellectual, and social development. I take this opportunity to announce Mrs. Amy Darpel as Covington Latin School’s new Director of Advancement. Since 2017, Amy has been the Director of Admissions/Marketing for CLS where she has been responsible for attracting, qualifying, and counseling potential families through their discernment process. Amy has contributed to our Grand Event, Alumni Golf Outing, alumni reunions, and many other major events. She also has overseen all social media and marketing material for the school. In addition, since 2016 Amy has been the Executive Director for ExploreMore! – an enrichment program hosted at CLS for gifted students in grades K-12 with the purpose of engaging the gifted community. As a parent of a CLS alumnus, Amy has also been involved at CLS as a volunteer – a chaperone to Europe, Open House, Grand Event, and on the host committee for class fundraisers. Amy earned from Thomas More University a Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education and Psychology and an Associates of Arts in Theology and History. Amy and her husband, David, have three children. As we enter into the fourth quarter of the school year, I want each of you to know how very much I value the many ways you have gifted Covington Latin School. Your loyalty, concern, kindness, leadership, and support are but a few of the wonder-filled gifts I have witnessed on behalf of CLS. Believe me there is no way I can list all the names of the alumni, parents (past and present), students, and staff who have and continue to share their time, energy, and financial support for Covington Latin School. Many things continue to happen at Covington Latin that should make you as alumni extremely proud, so please do not hesitate to pay us a visit. As we look to the future, let us do so with an appreciation of what we have become and a desire that we will ever be a school community that carries on the principles and practices of our faith. And that we will ever uphold family values that the people of the Northern Kentucky/Greater Cincinnati region will always see us as a source of leadership for the community. I would like to draw special attention to the $500,000 matching gift opportunity on page 9 that would help us eliminate $1,000,000 from our building debt. The money saved on the interest alone would help us in so many ways. Lastly, “How can I keep from singing?” This is the title to one of my favorite liturgical songs because I find it to be appropriate for so many aspects of our daily lives. With the Lord as our strength and all of the blessings in our lives such as family and friends, how can we keep from singing? May God continue to bless you and your family, Michael Clines Interim Headmaster

join Us for our biggest party on Saturday, April 13
The Grand Event is Covington Latin School’s largest fundraising event. Proceeds from the Grand Event will help support academic, athletic, and extracurricular activities not included in our budget. This year has an additional incentive that any money raised over $25,000 will go towards a new technology initiative at Covington Latin School. This new initiative will allow us to expand our technology program to include a state-of-the-art Computer Aided Design Lab, 3D printers, and a robotics program. Success of the Grand Event is only possible with your help. If you cannot attend this year’s event, you can still participate. We will once again be using an online bidding platform that will allow you to still join in on the action.
Donate an auction ITEM We are looking for items that provide unique, difficult to obtain experiences, such as “Behind the Scenes Tours.� Do you know any interesting people with special talents who would donate their time to be shadowed or entertain a winning bidder and their friends? Think local celebrities, local politicians, chefs, artists, musicians, athletes, and doctors. What about someone who works for an interesting company who would offer a behind the scenes tour- Graeters, Cincinnati Zoo, sports teams- professional or collegiate, TV stations, radio stations? The possibilities are endless- the more creative the better!
our sponsors We would like to thank our sponsors who are dedicated to supporting the mission of Covington Latin School. We still have sponsorship opportunities available at every level. Please email advancement@covingtonlatin.org.

Let’s Build Our Future Together We have been given an amazing fundraising opportunity and we need your help! An anonymous donor has challenged the CLS community to raise $500,000 that will be matched dollar for dollar. The money raised in this endeavour will help to pay down our building debt from our building expansion. By paying down this debt, Covington Latin School will hopefully be able to move into its 100th year debt free. Our expansion has allowed our students the opportunity to conduct experiments using the state-of-the-art Eva Farris Science Labs that rival those of universities. The Kohlhepp Family Forum and Commons area are gathering places for our students to enjoy performances, lectures, and pep rallies. During the course of a day, the Forum is transformed from a gathering place in the morning
to do homework, to a cafeteria in the afternoon, and to a formal lecture hall in the evening. This space is also used for alumni events such as Elected Officials Night, the Grand Event, and class reunions. Our PE space is home to our sports teams and gym classes. If you would like to discuss ways in which you can help us to reach our goal, please contact us at advancement@covingtonlatin.org.
Please help us reach our goal of raising $500,000 by June 30, 2019 $500K $450K $400K $350K $300K $250K $200K $150K $100K
TEACH ME GOODNESS, DISCIPLINE AND KNOWLEDGE
Covington Latin School’s motto is Bonitatem, et Disciplinam, et Scientiam, doce me. If you remember your Latin, you know it means teach me goodness, discipline and knowledge. We are always mindful of our motto in everything we do at Covington Latin School. And while the opportunities at CLS are ever evolving, the traditions remain the same. To demonstrate this, we asked three of our LEADERS to share with you how we are holding steadfast to our mission.
Teach me goodness The question I dreaded most as a college freshman was, “So, what’s your major?” “Theology,” I’d mumble back. I think people meant well, but the next question was almost always, “What are you going to do with a degree in Theology?” After being asked so frequently about my future career plans, I would jokingly reply, “Be unemployed. Thanks!”
get to meet the people he serves, he reflects on his small act of service as an allegory for God’s constant love: “God’s eternal forgiveness can be compared to a parking lot that it is continuously cleaned up. Every week, humans litter and the parking lot is covered in trash, and every week it has to be cleaned again. In the same way humans continually sin...Luckily for us, God never tires of forgiving us.” To “teach” goodness is to live the mystery of Christian joy: serving others in love. I choose to major in Theology because of the joy of this love. Many CLS students, like Elysse and David, begin to discover this joy by lovingly serving those around them. Julie Cruts Theology Teacher
Looking back, I wish more people had asked, “Why are you getting a degree in Theology?” I would have told them about my faith-filled parents, the years I spent doubting, the miracle God worked in my heart, and the awesome minister who inspired me to love God more deeply than any textbook had ever shown me. I was a Theology major because I had discovered the secret to happiness: to give your life for others in loving service is the paradox of Christian joy.
Teach me discipline Covington Latin School remains a place where we strive to embrace our school motto, including in athletics and extracurriculars. Students involved in athletics learn discipline. Discipline as the training that molds character, not laps and push-ups as punishment. The demands of a varsity team and academics develops opportunities for learning about time-management,
At CLS, I have the privilege of witnessing the students’ joy from serving others in love. When I read students’ service reflections, I am struck by the depth of love that they pour into the simplest tasks. They remind me that true goodness is not measured by large accomplishments but, like Mother Teresa’s mantra, by “small things” done with “great love.” Elysse H. ‘20 serves the preschoolers at Bigg’s Early Childhood Center. Some students may shrink at the prospect of interacting with preschoolers for an hour, but Elysse views it as an occasion to grow in love: “I believe that God put Jamari in my class to help me recognize that everyone is deserving of my time and attention, no matter what... Jamari brings me closer to God because he has given me an opportunity to love someone, even though it can be hard.” David S. ‘20 helps at the Rose Garden Mission by sweeping the parking lot or preparing for the people who arrive at the mission daily. Even though he doesn’t always
school-life balance, interpersonal relationships, goal setting, prioritization, teamwork, problem solving and leadership, to name a few “real world” skills practiced by our student-athletes. Students have an opportunity to practice and test their skills they develop – their ability to exhibit discipline to adhere and succeed at their school and extracurricular commitments. The discipline to practice and repeat training to see improvement. Practicing that discipline in the settings of extracurriculars molds students who have improved academic performance, broader perspectives, and higher

self-esteem. Sports are the not end in itself at CLS, but a means to teach our students and prepare them for life, because life is a team sport. At Covington Latin School 85% of the students are on an athletic team. Nearly 100% of students participate in an extracurricular. CLS proudly offers a wide range of extracurriculars – academic, artistic, athletic, and social. This continues the tradition of student engagement. Tom Rauf, ‘99 CLS Athletic Boosters President
Teach me knowledge “Knowledge is power” So what is Knowledge? Knowledge doesn’t mean just knowing everything about a subject, but much more. It’s not about A’s but knowing how to be successful- study skills, knowing your strengths and playing to them, stepping up when the going gets tough. CLS brings that out in our young adults. They learn the value of

CLS makes learning more than just about a subject area. It gives Knowledge that follows them out of the doors of CLS to make a great leaders and learners for life. Whenever I speak to alumni, I consistently hear that the greatest gift that Latin School gave them was the ability to think critically. The ability to know what you don’t know and the skills to find out what you need to know. Stephanie Tewes Dean of Studies

A MESSAGE FROM ADVANCEMENT
Dear Alumni, Parents, and Friends: Teach me goodness, discipline, and knowledge. These three principles have guided Covington Latin for almost a century. It is evident as you walk in the doors. I see it in the teachers who work tirelessly to give our insatiable students the knowledge that they crave. I see it our students who strive to excel in everything they do. I see it in our families who sacrifice to send their children to Covington Latin School. And finally, I see it in our Alumni who selfishlessly donate their time, talent, and treasure to make CLS a sustainable, affordable education for bright children in the area. Covington Latin School is a place like no other. These guiding principles are what make me so excited about the future of Covington Latin School and the opportunities that our students are given through a Latin School education. As I look at the updates of our alumni, I am awestruck at their accomplishments. Our alumni are truly the leaders that Latin School taught them to be. Being a parent of an alumnus, it makes me proud to know that he too will be among our successful graduates. Covington Latin School has given many blessings to our family. It has been a home to my son for five years and a home to me for three. My daughter has even had the opportunity to teach drama at CLS. I am profoundly grateful for the opportunities that have come from Covington Latin School. It is with that sense of gratitude that I am excited to take the mantle of Director of Advancement. It is my hope that I can give back to an institution of which I am so proud to be a part. It is my goal to meet as many alumni as I can in the coming months. I love hearing the “war stories� of the Latin Language Lab, the third floor study hall, and all the anecdotes of the time when Fr. Heile was a larger-than-life figure at CLS. I want to share with you what Latin School is today and what it will be in the future. It is my hope to serve the Covington Latin School community as well as it has served me and my family. In the past few weeks since being named as Director, I am humbled at the outpouring of support that our alumni have shown towards the matching gift donations for our debt reduction. We are over half the way there. I hope that you would prayerfully consider a donation to this effort. Your generosity in this appeal assures Latin School will be sustainable for the next 100 years. Until we have the opportunity to meet in person, please know that I am here to help your Alma Mater continue to teach goodness, discipline, and knowledge to the next generations of students. I am always available for a tour, a coffee, or just to share stories. I am just a phone call away. God Bless, Amy Darpel Director of Advancement amy.darpel@covingtonlatin.org (859) 291-7044
