This Week on Aurora Now:

It's not uncommon to get excited when an Amazon package arrives at our front door, but a Grandview High School student will probably talk about his special delivery from Amazon for years to come. Wait until you hear what was inside! Also on this week's show, the city teams up with a non-profit and our school districts to help students land a good-paying career in the construction and trade industries after graduation; we talk to the director/producer of a new documentary film featuring northwest Aurora and its amazing diversity; and Aurora's avian power couple is expecting, again. Those stories and many more this week on Aurora Now.
