This year CHVE third grade students participated in the Empty Bowls Project. Every 3rd grade student created a bowl for this charity event. The Empty Bowls are a reminder that there are always empty bowls in the world. We are helping make a difference by donating all proceeds to Food Bank of the Rockies. Each dollar raised provides three meals through the food bank.
This year our third grade students raised $627! That is 1,881 meals!
I can’t thank the third grade students, their families and our generous community enough for such an amazing gift for the Food Bank of the Rockies right before the holiday season. Thank you CHVE community!
The last few years the city of Cherry Hills Village has asked our school, along with St. Mary's and Kent, to paint one of their 3 snow plows blades. We ran a contest for a 5th grade student to come up with our school's design and draw it on the plow blade. Below is the final product!
In 2011 we had a very successful art fund-raiser. With those funds we hired a wonderful local muralist, Tony Ortega. Tony came in every Friday during the month of September to work with all first – fifth grade students during their scheduled art class time. The murals were created outside the art room and were hung in two separate halls here at CHVE. The theme of the murals is nature and science.
