• Pinkard Tops Out on the Daylight Collective Campus (milehighcre.com) — Renovations are more than halfway done on the Daylight Collective campus at 1195 S. Teller St. in Lakewood, which will greatly expand services offered by the Action Center and partner nonprofits. Once complete, residents will find no-cost food and clothing, health care, workforce support, education programs, youth sports, and shared community spaces like a café, event center, and gym under one roof.
   

• Off the clock: How Edgewater's Jefferson High stayed open (thegoldentranscript.com) — Jeffco's Jefferson Junior/Senior High in nearby Edgewater has escaped possible closure after boosting state test participation and earning back-to-back improvement ratings, easing concerns for families across the district. One student describes leaving Lakewood High School for Jefferson to find a more welcoming, Spanish-speaking environment, highlighting ongoing equity and enrollment debates that still affect Lakewood-area schools.
