Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Wednesday, December 3rd, 2025.We're starting this Wednesday with some exciting news for families in our community. The Emergency Family Assistance Association, or EFAA, just announced it received a five million dollar grant from the Bezos Day One Families Fund. This is huge for Boulder. The funding will help EFAA double its capacity to shelter families experiencing homelessness, with plans to support over three hundred families on a path toward long-term housing stability. EFAA executive director Debbie Pope says this grant is an important opportunity to strengthen Boulder's safety net and provide a model for nonprofits across the country on how to address homelessness. The organization will launch a new program called EFAA Pathways that expands existing housing programs and includes wraparound services like financial coaching and family strengthening programming. Of thirty-two grant recipients nationwide, EFAA was the only Colorado nonprofit selected this year, making this a real point of pride for our community.Speaking of community transformation, we're also keeping an eye on Casey Middle School, where principal Bryant Shaw has been working to rebuild the school's culture. Shaw, a former professional football player, is bringing a systems-based approach that's already showing results. Academic growth has rebounded, with math scores at their highest level in nearly a decade for all student groups. Suspensions have dropped dramatically from thirty-seven in twenty twenty-two to just thirteen last year. The overall atmosphere has shifted so noticeably that families who previously steered their kids elsewhere are reconsidering Boulder Valley Schools.Now, looking at your Wednesday ahead, we do need to talk weather. A winter weather advisory is in effect until six p-m tonight. The heaviest snow is expected between three and ten a-m, right during the morning commute. Denver is looking at four to seven inches overall, so give yourself extra time getting around town and drive carefully. CDOT reminds us that freezing ice may be hiding under light snow cover in some areas.If you're looking for something to do tonight, the Dairy Arts Center has performances running through the week, and Boulder Theater is hosting KT Tunstall on Saturday night. Plus, the Denver Christkindlmarket is in full swing through December twenty-third if you're in the mood for holiday festivities.This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.For more http://www.quietplease.aiGet the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
