COVINGTON - After six years of fundraising, the East Newton Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) finally was able to gift the school with a new playground area for the students. Once the East Newton Elementary School, 2286 Dixie Road, Covington, finished its open house Wednesday evening, the PTO held a ceremonious ribbon cutting to introduce the park to the students, parents, teachers and school staff. “It’s a big achievement,” said Kaci Marks, president of the PTO. “IT gives us cold chills just thinking about what we accomplished.”
