  • Snow and Holiday Season Settling In
    2024/11/20

    Come walkin’ in a winter wonderland during Noel Night Friday, Dec. 6 in Downtown Durango. The beloved tradition kicks off the holiday shopping season with a day and evening full of activities, special events, and sales from local artists, vendors, organizations, and more. The Durango Business Improvement District’s Holiday Rewards program also kicks off the same night - your holiday shopping has never been so rewarding!

    Fort Lewis College is the recipient of two grants totaling $6.7 million to support the development of a diverse teacher workforce and multilingual education. One of the grants will fund Project BLOOM - Building Language and Opening Opportunities for Multilingualism - to help reverse the decline in native language speakers. The other grant will help establish the CEDAR Initiative - Center for Educator Diversity, Achievement, and Responsiveness - to help prepare Indigenous educators and educators of color to serve students in rural, charter, and Tribal schools.

    With the recent snowfall, brush off your school snow day FAQs with Durango School District 9-R and re-familiarize yourself with the snow day decision process. The school district coordinates with multiple local and regional organizations to decide if and when to close schools or delay the start to keep students, staff, and the community safe during inclement weather.
