Good Morning, Colorado, and welcome to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Friday January 1st, and we’re lucky to start the first day of 2021 with you.

 

Today - our Education reporter Erica Breunlin interviews the former principal of Columbine High School about dealing with trauma in the aftermath of a school shooting.

 

But before we begin, let’s go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”:

 

Today, we’re going back to January 1st, 2014 when Colorado started the year on a high note. It became the first US state to legalize the growth, sale, and consumption of recreational marijuana. 

 

Now our feature story.

 

Frank DeAngelis was the principal of Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, on April 20, 1999, when two students opened gunfire, killing 12 other students, one teacher and themselves. 

 

The Sun’s Education reporter, Erica Breunlin, recently interviewed DeAngelis about how he coped with trauma in the aftermath of the mass shooting and the lessons he can offer to help navigate trauma created by the pandemic.

 

 

For more of Erica’s conversation with Frank DeAngelis, read the full story at coloradosun.com.

 

Thanks for listening. Finally, here are a few stories that you should know about today:

 

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis late Wednesday announced that he will loosen coronavirus restrictions in areas across the state that had been forced to ban personal gatherings and shut down indoor dining in recent weeks.

-

Police are investigating after human remains were found in two large suitcases near a trail in southwest Denver.
