100 Years in 100 Days: Students at Malvern Elementary

Shaker Heights Patch is celebrating the 100 years of Shaker Heights history by creating an online scrapbook. Each day for 100 days, we'll feature a photograph that helps tell the story of Shaker Heights.

Today's photograph shows a history lesson at Malvern Elementary. Students studying the Shakers tried to replicate the experience of children in the North Union community. The youngsters dressed in traditional attire and were seated according to their gender, just as young Shakers might have been in the mid-1800s.
