VHECH hosts Taste of the Heights

Vestavia Hills Elementary Cahaba Heights held its fifth annual Taste of the Heights event on Tuesday, April 16. 

The fundraiser featured an art show, silent auction, book fair and food sampling from local restaurants, including Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint, Cowfish and Zaxby's. 

Cahaba Heights students have been working on art projects throughout the school year, according to art teacher Katie Hicks. Tuesday's event gave them a chance to showcase their work. 

Hundreds of student-produced pieces filled the school's gymnasium and were available for purchase. Proceeds benefited the school. 

"They're very proud to display their art and celebrate their hard work and accomplishments," Hicks said.
