Description

Own a piece of Cherry Hills Village Elementary School History! 


This years’ CHVE Auction includes two priceless memories of Cherry Hills community history. The space in the CHVE LaTronico Center where two quilts have been hanging is being redesigned. The quilts, made by students at Cherry Hills and Village Heights Elementary Schools, represented the two schools before the 1984-1985 consolidation.


The 78” x 93” quilt has 29 brightly colored squares of kids’ drawings representing life and celebrations at Village Heights School during 1982-1983, the year prior to the consolidation of the two elementary schools.  The squares are framed in navy blue and burgundy, with several beaded friendship pins. “I Love Village Heights” is on the bottom, and the side borders include staff and students signatures. Former teachers, Joanne Nelson, Charmaine Reece, Nancy Stanley, and John Mollicone remember the kids making the squares in each classroom, and the 6th graders putting the quilt together.
