This sentence pattern (____から____まで) is used to indicate the beginning and end of a certain duration or length.
For example:

夏休みは7月20日から9月5日までです。
(natsuyasumi wa shichigatsu hatsuka kara kugatsu ituka made desu.)
The afternoon break is from 12:00 to 12:50.
昼休みは12時から12時50分までです。
(hiruyasumi wa jūniji kara jūniji gojuppun made desu.)
The exam covers from lesson 1 to lesson 5.
テストは1課から5課までです。
(tesuto wa ikka kara goka made desu.)
Note:
"から (kara)" indicates the starting point of time or movement.
"まで (made)" expresses the ending point of time or movement.
You do not always have to use both "から" and "まで" in a sentence.
For example:
The summer holiday is from July.
夏休みは7月からです。
(natsuyasumi wa shichigatsu kara desu.)
I go to the station.
(私は)駅まで行きます。
((watashi wa) eki made ikimasu.)
"まで (made)" serves the same purpose as "へ (e)" and "に (ni)" when referring to a place, and they are interchangeable.
