Coventry Elementary Hosts Winter Wonderland Drive-Thru

Press release from District 47:

Dec. 9, 2020

Coventry families are invited to load their families into the car and come to the school for a festive display of lights and holiday decorations at the school’s first Winter Wonderland Drive-Through event. The event will be held on Thursday, December 10, 2020 from 5pm to 7pm at Coventry Elementary (820 Darlington Lane).

For the past several years the school has hosted an evening in December for parents to come to the school to build winter break activity boxes for their student(s) and to wrap holiday gifts. This year, due to the pandemic, the school is “thinking outside the box” and worked with their PTA to come up with an alternative family event.

“We know our students and families have missed coming to Coventry and we’ve missed them, so we wanted to spread a little holiday cheer and invite everyone to come see the lights and decorations,” said Matt Grubbs, principal.

Free winter break boxes filled with activities for student(s) will be provided to those who RSVP’d for the event and on a first come, first-served basis. Most of the lights and holiday decorations were donated by Coventry families.
