A vaccine for COVID-19 has arrived in Colorado, but that doesn't mean the work of healthcare workers is over. To acknowledge their hard work, the McNichols Civic Center Building has an online "Women of Color on the Front Lines" exhibit worth viewing. The exhibit, which showcases work from various artists, can be viewed anytime for free.
On Saturday, the French American School of Denver will host a French story time. This will be their last story of 2020. (The event will return on January 9.)
