Denver Public Schools will close seven schools and reduce the number of grades served by three others at the end of the current academic year, a move by Colorado’s largest district to prevent a financial crisis as K-12 enrollment continues to plummet statewide. The district’s Board of Education voted unanimously Thursday evening to approve Superintendent Alex Marrero’s consolidation plan, which he announced two weeks ago.

As the number grew on Janet Lowry’s GoFundMe page, the scope of her life came into focus just as it was ending. Hundreds turned into thousands until more than 400 donations totaled a little under $100,000 — all in support of Janet and her husband, Columbine football coach Andy Lowry, as she neared the final days of a seven-year battle with cancer, much of which had been fought in private. “I sure wish in my lifetime that I could pay it forward like these people have paid it to me,” longtime friend Monica Kellogg recalled Janet telling her. In reality, the community was paying it back to her. Janet died Nov.

Nik Bonitto is closing in on a major milestone. On Sunday against the Raiders, Denver’s third-year edge rusher will need just one sack to become the first Bronco to record double-digit sacks in a single season since Von Miller and Bradley Chubb both did it in 2018.

During a Week 9 blowout loss at Baltimore, Broncos defensive end Zach Allen noticed he was getting double-teamed more frequently. Such is life when you’re as productive as Allen’s been through the first three months of the NFL season.

It’s not a coincidence, then, that John Franklin-Myers has two sacks in Denver’s past three games and has made more splash plays the more attention Allen’s commanded. “If you’re rushing four and the center turns to Zach and he’s getting double-teamed, ‘JFM’ has had success,” defensive coordinator Vance Joseph said Thursday.
