Follow the Coventry Road
  Yellow brick road

Friday, June 1
10 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Coventry Elementary School, Washington Boulevard

Coventry Elementary School invites you to attend an all-school end-of-the-year play entitled Follow the Coventry Road, inspired by The Wizard of Oz and The Wiz. Follow Dorothy as she is swept away by a twister to Coventry Road and the school she has heard so much about from her Auntie Em. At Coventry, she learns about the school's history and meets the Wooden Boat, Peace Arch and Squirrel. Together they ease on down the road and discover that Coventry offers a rainbow of opportunities and that Coventry's motto of "Peace, Love, Respect for All" is a message we can take wherever we go.

Students have worked with their music teacher, Ms. Grant-Hughes, to learn songs they'll sing, and with art teachers Ms. Connelly & Ms. Wachhaus to create costumes for the play. Kulture Kids, Northeast Ohio's leading provider of multicultural arts programs for schools and businesses, wrote, directed and produced the play, working with children in all grades. 

For more information, contact CoventrySchool, 216-371-7110.

Community as a Form of Art

Wish List
Track lights
Heights Arts Gallery has been open since April, 2003, and we think it's time to upgrade from clamp lights to a track lighting system  At the same time,we'd like to install a couple of ceiling fans and buy a new desk and chairs.  You can guess the only obstacle:  money.  Can you help us raise $5000 for the gallery by donating to our Re-Light the Gallery Fund?  We would for sure thank all donors with a de-lightful party when we turn on the new lights.  You can donate here, or mail a check to Heights Arts, 2163 Lee Road #104, Cleveland Heights, Ohio 44118.  Your donation is tax-deductible, and greatly appreciated.
