CURTIS CENTER FOR THE
ARTS AND CURTIS PARK
This month, I would like to highlight Curtis
Park and the Curtis Center for the Arts located at
2349 East Orchard Road in Greenwood Village.

In 1901, Mary J. Curtis, an area
resident, donated land to the
Littleton School District for a oneroom
schoolhouse to serve three
families with 10 children.
Originally, the school was known as
the Mary J. Curtis School, but later
the name was shortened to Curtis
School. The school was located at
the corner of Orchard and
University with additional land to the west for
a parking lot and park.
In 1914, the original clapboard building was
replaced with a red brick school for children
from first through eighth grades. The new
building, with a cupola and big bell, had a basement, which
was divided into a long room and coal furnace room. There
was no electricity, running water, or indoor plumbing.
Windows and gasoline lanterns provided the school’s lighting.
The janitor brought drinking water from home every day in
a 10-gallon jar so the children could drink from their own tin
cups. In 1927, electricity was installed.
In 1931, the Curtis School aesthetics changed. Two
additional classrooms were completed in 1932. The addition
included a garden-level classroom with large windows and a
classroom above it, on the same level as the original
classroom. Additionally, an eight-to-nine-hundred-foot
artesian well was drilled in the southeast corner of the school
yard. The well water became popular in the community, with
people frequently stopping by the school for water. In 1935,
indoor plumbing was installed. In the 1950’s, a small kitchen
was installed in the school’s basement to provide a hot lunch
program. Prior to that time, children brought lunch from
home.
School life for children of Curtis School included a variety of
activities and programs. Boys and girls enjoyed many
activities like dances, baseball, marbles, games of Fox and
Geese, art lessons, field trips searching for artifacts, Kite Day,
picnics and the celebration of May Day.
In 1967, the Littleton School District initiated a plan to close
Curtis School. Community meetings were held inviting
parents to participate and voice their concerns about the
future of the little red school house. One of the main reasons
(according to the parents) why the Curtis School was closed
was because the school did not have a gymnasium. The
parents told school officials they liked having their children
play outdoors in the fresh air, but the school was closed.
The Curtis School continued to serve as a community center
after the school closed. The first community group to meet
regularly at Curtis School was Grandview Grange #151. Boys
and Girls 4-H used Curtis School for meetings. Vacation
bible school and church services were also held at the school.
Curtis School also served as the Town Hall for Greenwood
Village, where City Council meetings and traffic court were
held after school hours.
In 1971-1972, the Village took over the lease on the parking
lot and park from the South Suburban Parks and Recreation
District, and as a result, the Village became responsible for
Curtis Park which was still owned by the Littleton School

District. When the Green Oaks subdivision was
approved in 1973, the Village was deeded property on
the Park’s west edge which was developed into a soccer
field.
In 1985, the Littleton School District sold pieces of the
original property to the Mission Hills Baptist Church
and the Village. The property where the Curtis School
resided was sold to the church. When the church’s
expansion plans necessitated the school be demolished
or moved, citizens and Village officials worked together
to preserve the building. In 1988, the building was
moved and for the next three years, the school
underwent renovation to preserve its heritage. In 1991,
Curtis School was dedicated as the Greenwood Village
Arts and Humanities Center before becoming the
Curtis Center for the Arts in 2016. In 2018, restrooms
were added to the upper level.
The Curtis Center for the Arts is now home to many unique
and exciting art exhibits, lectures, cultural events, concerts,
adult art programs and activities for seniors and youth.
Curtis serves as the focal point in the Village’s commitment
to the arts. Many exhibits are offered including Youth Art
Month, the Greenwood and Beyond Photography Show, and
the All-Colorado Art Show. To learn more, visit

MEET THE VILLAGE’S
ARBORISTS
The Village’s Arborists are part of the Parks, Trails, and
Recreation Department’s Open Space and Forestry
group. The crew includes Kurt Nielsen (who recently
celebrated his 40th work anniversary with the Village),
Josh Harlan, Jacob Hammer and Greg Knox. Our four
Arborists are responsible for approximately 12,000 Trees
in the Village. In addition, the Village’s staff has
responsibility for our section of the High Line Canal
which includes another 2,600 trees over 6” in diameter
and at least that many under 6” in diameter. The work
of our Arborists include planting, fertilizing, pruning,
and removing trees. All three Arborists are skilled in
rope and saddle techniques to climb trees and are
proficient in operating the 75-foot aerial lift truck. They
have climbed trees from 12 feet to 100-feet. Tree work is a yearround
job when they are not helping on the snow removal crew.
The metro area’s semi-arid climate makes it difficult to maintain
trees. To maintain your trees, prune them regularly (3-5 years),
give them water in the winter when, for extended periods, there
is no snow on the ground and frequently examine your trees,
identifying little issues before they become big problems. For
more information or resources on how to take care of your trees
year-round, visit the Colorado Tree Coalition at
coloradotrees.org.
FOURTH OF JULY
CELEBRATION
Fireworks are a traditional part of America’s July 4th
Independence Day celebration. For many July 4th is not
complete without sparklers and fireworks. As we celebrate,
the Greenwood Village Police Department would like to
remind residents the possession and use of fireworks are
illegal in Greenwood Village. Please be mindful of this law
and keep your family and neighbors safe.

DRIVER SAFETY TIPS
Road safety is the responsibility of all road users. Whether
you are a driver, a bicyclist, or a pedestrian, everyone has a
duty to follow all traffic laws to protect yourself and others.
Remember that you are not the only driver on the road and
must share the road with others, recognizing that all roadway
users deserve to be treated with respect. Please do your part
to prevent accidents and keep our roadways safe.
Stay Alert — Actively pay attention to your actions and
those of the drivers around you when you are driving.
Use Turn Signals — Always use your turn signals in advance
of making a lane change or turning.
Buckle Up — Wearing your seat belt is an essential safety tip
for drivers.
Follow Traffic Signals — Pay close attention to and obey
stop signs and traffic lights.
Respect Yellow Lights — Remember that the intent of a
yellow light is to notify drivers to slow down and prepare to
stop. A yellow traffic signal should not be viewed as a sign to
step on the gas to rush through an intersection before the
light turns red.
Come To A Complete Stop — When you see a stop sign or a
red light, it’s important to bring your vehicle to a complete
stop, even if you think no other vehicles are coming.
Do Not Text And Drive — It is never acceptable to send text
messages when operating a motor vehicle.
Obey Speed Limits — When driving, it’s important to stick
to the posted speed limit at all times.
Never Drive Under The Influence — It’s essential to avoid
operating a vehicle if you have been drinking, taking certain
types of prescription or non-prescription drugs, or are
otherwise impaired.
Yield Right Of Way — When other drivers have the right of
way, be sure to yield to them.
Respect Stopped Vehicles — When passing vehicles that are
stopped on the side of the road, move over to get out of the
way if the way is clear for you to change lanes. If changing
lanes is not possible, slow down while passing stopped
vehicles.
For more information on roadway safety, please call the
Police Department at 303-773-2525. GV
DRIVERS AND BICYCLISTS — SHARING THE ROAD
Even though a car may weigh more and can attain far greater speeds, bicyclists have the same rights and duties that are imposed to drivers.
• When overtaking a bicyclist proceeding in the same direction, a driver shall allow the bicyclist at least a three-foot separation between the
right side of the driver’s vehicle, including all mirrors or other projections, and the left side of the bicyclist at all times.
• The driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to a bicyclist or other authorized user of a bicycle lane in a bicycle lane.
• The driver of a vehicle shall not, in a careless and imprudent manner, drive the vehicle unnecessarily close to, toward, or near a bicyclist.

Highlands Ranch.
Waste Connections will be providing

COVID-19 UPDATE
we’re all in this together!
ARAPAHOE COUNTY/
GREENWOOD VILLAGE
NOW IN LEVEL CLEAR
On Sunday, May 16, Arapahoe County moved to the newly
established Level Clear on the State’s COVID dial. Under
Level Clear, Adams and Arapahoe counties will enter a 90-
day Observation Period during which businesses, schools,
restaurants, and other facilities will be open at 100 percent
capacity. There will be no further restrictions beyond the
state’s mask-wearing requirements and any state public health
orders still in effect. The move to Level Clear is part of a
measured regional approach to safe reopening that happens
side-by-side with continuing efforts to vaccinate Colorado
residents against COVID-19. Vaccines are one of the most
powerful tools in stopping the spread of COVID-19 and
public health experts estimate that 70 to 80 percent of the
population must be vaccinated to stop the spread.
While the move to Level Clear is very encouraging and long
awaited, it leaves many people uncertain of how to prevent
and protect themselves from COVID-19, which is not gone
yet and can still impact people’s lives. The number one way
people can protect themselves and others is to be vaccinated
as soon as possible. The Tri-County Health Department
(TCHD) website is also another source of helpful guidance
for those who have loved ones that may not be able to be
vaccinated such as children under 12 and those with
weakened immune systems who may not optimally respond
to the vaccine. There is also good information from both the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
(CDPHE) on the TCHD website, that provides guidance on
returning to work and our daily lives while still living with
COVID-19.

MASK ORDER UPDATE
In May, the Governor announced an update
to the Statewide Mask Order:
• If you’ve been vaccinated, you don’t need
to wear a mask (unless a business
requires it).
• If you’re not vaccinated, masks are still
suggested in indoor settings.
• There are some situations where masks
are required:
Prisons, jails, healthcare, schools,
congregate care facilities.
• Many businesses are still going to require
masks to enter. It is suggested that you
still carry a mask with you for businesses
that may still require masks to enter.
For more information or clarification, visit
tchd.org or covid19.colorado.gov/. GV
Under Level Clear’s 90-day Observation Period
that began on May 16, TCHD health officials
will closely observe and monitor local conditions,
paying particular attention to the rates of hospital
admission. Counties may be moved to a more
restrictive level on the Simplified Dial if they
experience hospital admission rates higher than
two hospital admissions per 100,000 people. The
hospital admission rate is an important health
metric that indicates the severity of COVID-19
infections. Adams and Arapahoe Counties have
not surpassed this metric since January of 2021,
and we are hopeful that increased vaccination
rates, as well as other prevention strategies, will
keep all hospitalizations below this threshold
moving forward.
For more information about what the transition
to Level Clear means and how it affects residents
of Adams and Arapahoe counties, visit
www.tchd.org.

Looking for something new to satisfy your sweet tooth? Need
a pick me up in the morning? Celebrating a special occasion
or having an office meeting? Spice up your day with lipsmacking
treats from We Knead Donut.
We Knead Donut recently opened in Greenwood Village and
is conveniently located in the Cherry Crest Shopette on the
southwest corner of Orchard Road and University Boulevard.
The owner, Brad Kwon, was an engineer for 10 years prior to
entering the donut business. He states that he couples his
strong passion and love of donuts with his engineering sense
and applies pinpoint accuracy into making all his recipes.
We Knead Donut is Kwon’s third donut shop in Colorado.
He opened his first shop in Lone Tree six years ago and has
another location in Johnstown under the name of Mr.
Donuts. This is his first We Knead Donut location. The new
name was selected to differentiate and upgrade their product
and service. According to Kwon, Greenwood Village was
chosen since he was “interested in introducing his awardwinning
products to the people of the city. Greenwood
Village is the city where I have dreamed to open a shop since
we started business and I am happy to make our dream come
true. We wanted to serve the community with high quality
products and service.”
There is nothing quite like freshly handcrafted donuts to
start your day. We Knead Donut offers a variety of
scrumptious treats to satisfy all your cravings, from basic oldfashioned
donuts to mouthwatering unique variants. The
choices are numerous including classic flavors, raised, cake,
specialty filled donuts, cinnamon rolls, twists and apple
fritters. Several flavors of icings, fillings and toppings are
also available. The Cronut, a croissant donut, is one of their
best-sellers, famous for its crunchy thin layers of rich taste.
