The materials will be on display at the District 6 Administration Office located at 1025 9th Avenue, Greeley in the lobby of the main level of the building. Visitors will need to check in at the security desk in the southwest lobby of the building and secure a visitor’s pass to wear while viewing the curricular resources.
