"For so many people, the heart of this village is the constant flow of guests and volunteer staff that contribute to daily upkeep, fascinating conversations, and holy hilarity. The big question is do we have anything up here without that?" ~ Eleanor Sherry
Eleanor is a sophomore in the Holden School. As a culminating project, she interviewed villagers about their experiences over the years, capturing multi-generational perspectives about what Holden Village is, was, and continues to be. The four questions asked included: 1) What was a time you feared for your life? 2) What was it like living here as a child? 3) How has the village changed? 4) What keeps you coming back?
The Holden Village School is a public school operated by the Chelan School District under state provisions for schools that are remote but necessary. It meets all state educational requirements and credits earned are transferable. The kindergarten through 12th grade curriculum meets the educational needs of the children of long-term staff families.
