An account has been established at First Bank & Trust of Covington for people who want to make a donation to help students who do not have school supplies. One of the more costly items required for elementary students is non-skid shoes for physical education. To protect the basketball courts, each student must have shoes that are used just for physical education and are not worn outside. A teacher or other designated person will make purchases.
