Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 6th of October.
Good morning, Denver.
🏘️ Community
After a school shooting at Evergreen High School, residents gathered for a healing benefit at Cactus Jack's Saloon and Grill where they danced, drew, and listened to live music—activities that included a silent auction to raise funds for the school and affected families.
Organizers said the event united the town in a hopeful effort to move forward after the tragedy.
🎓 Education
Westminster Public Schools launched a $1M literacy effort by adding 24 paraprofessionals to kindergarten classrooms to help improve early reading skills after state tests showed only 23% of students reading at grade level.
District leaders expect the program to run for at least two years—aiming to build the foundational skills needed for long-term academic success.
🏛️ Government
Denver began work on a big rebuild of Washington Street in Globeville last Friday— the project will fix the road from E.47th to E.52nd with new sidewalks and safer crossings to help everyone get around better.
It will add modern spaces for walkers and bikers to link the area to nearby places like the River North District and I-70.
📰 Real Estate
Demolition crews are tearing down the old Denver7 building at 123 Speer Blvd using conventional methods rather than implosion and expect the building to be completely removed in about four weeks.
The site will then be cleared for a transformative mixed-use development called Society Denver, which is scheduled to be completed in 2027.
🏈 Sports
Coach Prime said he was hurting like crazy after Colorado's loss at TCU and believes he might have more blood clots in his leg.
He is set for a doctor's appointment today—an update on his condition is expected after his recent bladder cancer treatment.
