Light up the Holidays at Lizana Elementary

COVID-19 has caused many of our holiday traditions to change this year, but at Lizana Elementary they’ve created a new tradition for kids and families to enjoy the holidays safely.

Instead of their traditional indoor Christmas program, teachers put together a drive-thru light display on campus featuring large Christmas cards from every grade group and appearances from Santa, Elf on the Shelf, and the Grinch.

Kids also had the chance to stock up on popcorn and sweet treats to benefit the school’s end of the year activity fund.

Assistant Principal William Bentz says he’s glad the school was able to adapt and hold a celebration this year. “It is great and I’ll tell you it doesn’t surprise me. Time and time again when we hold something here at Lizana, our community always comes out and shows support, it’s just really great to see.”

Christmas break for students at Lizana Elementary and in the Harrison County School District begins after school dismisses on Friday.
