The best Christmas trees in town will be sold at our own Arapahoe HS. Fresh Frasier Fir trees will be on sale tomorrow thru December 7th. The trees will benefit AHS boys swim team and the band. Our trees are priced below the competition and are a better quality. See a swim team or band member for more information.

AHS Toys for Tots Update: We are on the way to our goal of 1000 toys for Ashley Elementary and the Denver Indian Health and Family Services Center. Each day, students, staff, and parents are bringing toys to the Attendance Office and it is beginning to look like a toy store!! We currently have 300 toys in our office. We know there are toys out there – some are in classrooms, some you have already purchased, but they are in your car or at home, and some are still at the store!! We need your help. We will be collecting toys all next week through December, 8th. Think about shopping this weekend and put a smile on a child’s face. Bring your toys to the Attendance Office. Thank you Warriors! You can make it happen!
