Colorado is still seeing COVID-19 cases spread throughout the state, and education officials are among those keeping a watchful eye on the numbers. Greeley-Evans District 6 superintendent Dr. Deirdre Pilch tells how schools are handling the pandemic for a second school year.
While many people are rushing back to theaters, concert halls and other arts spaces open for the first time since the pandemic, others are apprehensive about safety at conventional entertainment venues. Denver locals Amy Karp and Ileana Rivera tell us about their new collective Text Me When You’re Home, which seeks to make a safer, more uplifting arts scene for Coloradans.
