Good morning, Pueblo.

Graduation season is approaching in Pueblo as local ceremonies will begin May 20, with Pueblo School District 60 holding events at the Southwest Motors Event Center while District 70, charter schools, and online programs plan their ceremonies at various local venues — details include multiple events through late May and early June.

Congress will begin considering a new Medicaid plan today that could force able-bodied adults to work, attend school, or volunteer 80 hours a month to maintain their healthcare coverage—analysts warn the proposal may lead to significant coverage losses for Coloradans as state officials review its impact.

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month and experts urge people to check their skin using the ABCDE method—watching for asymmetry, irregular borders, color changes, large diameter, and evolving moles—to catch melanoma early.

Local doctors also recommend using broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily and wearing protective clothing as summer nears.

Families in Pueblo can enjoy a summer of budget-friendly activities with each outing costing $15 or less, including animal encounters at the Pueblo Zoo, rides at City Park beginning May 24, and museum visits at the Pueblo Weisbrod Aircraft Museum, El Pueblo History Museum (with a new exhibit on May 17), and the Buell Children's Museum. Additional attractions offer laser tag, mini golf, escape rooms and outdoor fun at Lake Pueblo State Park—making the season affordable and engaging for all ages.
