The Village Voice Newsletter from the Wallace Village for ChildrenEntry/Object ID
1992.5.6.39Scope and Content
Item is an orange packet titled, "The Village Voice." On the front page, there is an image of Ireland and a castle below the title, along with the names of the editors, advisors, and reporters for the packet. On the next page, there is a section on alumni news and comments from Cleo Spurlock Wallace, the founder of the Wallace Village for Children, for which the packet was published. The next few pages contain an editorial and a note from the school's therapist, explaining how important it is for children to have time to play. The packet also tells about how the children are learning about different countries of the world. Two accounts of the story of St. Patrick are included, which is probably why Ireland is on the front cover of the packet. The rest of the newsletter features literary works from children that attended the Wallace Village for Children. On the back of the packet, the Village's P.O. Box and postage information is printed. The Wallace Village for Children (previously the Wallace School) was established in 1948 by Cleo Wallace. It was founded as a school for children with brain injuries. Before the school, Wallace had gotten her Master's Degree in speech pathology at the University of Denver and would provide therapy for kids from her home. The Wallace Village was located in Broomfield.Collection

The alumni news in the packet was from 1962, but the year 1965 was mentioned, as well. The latter date seemed most accurate.
