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.

ENSURING A SAFE 

community 

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.

NEW RESIDENTIAL 

TRASH AND 

RECYCLING 

PROVIDER 

Greenwood Village has provided trash 

and recycling services to single-family 

residences since 1996, and starting on 

January 1, 2022, Waste Connections 

will begin providing this service to 

Greenwood Village single-family 

residents. Residents will continue to 

enjoy the same service levels that are 

currently being provided, including 

containers provided by Waste 

Connections, every-other-week 

recycling, and the ability to place an 

unlimited number of additional bags 

out beside the containers for 

collection. 

Waste Connections is an international 

company operating in 45 states and 

five provinces across the United States 

and Canada. While the U.S. 

headquarters is in Houston, Texas, all 

Waste Connections’ locations operate 

as a local company with local 

management, customer service, and 

dispatch. Waste Connections of 

Colorado provides service to over 

200,000 households and over 10,000 

commercial customers in the Denver 

metropolitan area, making Waste 

Connections of Colorado one of the 

largest providers of solid waste and 

recycling removal in the area. Waste 

Connections currently provides a 

similar service to the City of Lone Tree 

and is the preferred provider for 

Highlands Ranch. 

Waste Connections will be providing 

all single-family residences with one 

95-gallon trash container and one 95- 

gallon recycling container, free of 

charge. Residents may request one 

additional 95-gallon recycling 

container, free of charge, if one 

container is not enough. Single-stream 

recycling will continue to be collected 

every-other-week. While residents are 

encouraged to use the containers 

provided by Waste Connections, 

you may still use any personal 

containers that you have previously 

purchased. Republic Services will 

collect all Republic-branded 

containers at the end of the year. 

More information, including details 

on the delivery of new Waste 

Connections containers and the 

collection of old Republic containers, 

will be provided in the coming 

months. If you have any questions, 

contact the Public Works 

Department at 

WebPublicWorks@Greenwood 

Village.com or 303-708-6100. GV

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. 


GOVERNMENT 

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.

Cherry Crest Shopette • 5999 South University Boulevard • 720-524-3793 

Tuesday-Friday 6 a.m.-2 p.m., Saturday-Sunday 6:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m., Closed Monday 

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
