Covenant Christian Academy Students are preparing for the Effingham County Fair Parade. This year’s float theme is the Middle Ages and will include knights, princesses, serfs, coats of arms and a castle.  

The students study the feudal system in the classical Christian curriculum.

Under the direction of the art teacher, Phyllis Thomerson, the students are painting and constructing the float and working on their own costumes.
