General Announcements

Hey Warriors! Are you feeling a little bit of those January Back to School Blues?! Well, here’s a great way to beat them!!! Come to the 2007 Winter Dance! Sponsored by your AHS Cheers and Toms, the dance will be held on tomorrow, January 20th from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. in the AHS Cafeteria. The theme is Winter Wonderland, and appropriate dress is semi formal. Jeans and shorts will not be allowed. Today is the final day that tickets will be on sale in the cafeteria during both lunches. The cost is $8/single and $15/couple. The cost will go up to $10/person at the door, so purchase your tickets early. Students attending the dance are to enter at the East Entrance and must show their Arapahoe Student ID to enter. If they are bringing a guest, they must also present a current photo ID. Come support your AHS Cheers and Toms and have a great time at the 2007 Winter Wonderland Dance!

If you took the PSAT, the results are in! You can pick your results up in the Guidance Center.

There will be a fundraising meeting on Tuesday, January 23rd for all students who are planning on attending the DECA State conference. The meeting will start right after school in room S1.

Seniors: Need money for college? Check out the scholarship list on Naviance for scholarships for which you are eligible. The list grows daily. Stop by the Post Grad Center for help in your search.

Today during both lunch hours we will be distributing First Semester Report Cards. Please stop by to pick up your Report Card. Please remember to bring your student ID. If you cannot pick up your First Semester Report Card tomorrow, please stop by the Guidance Office and see Mrs. Oeinck.

The After Prom Committee needs your help in the following areas:

Casino - We need dealers. You would be at the school from 3pm-10pm on Friday May 4th to help decorate.
Sat. May 5th you would work from 11pm - 4 am Sun.
Sunday May 6th we are asking you to stay as long as you can to take down the decorations.
We will have a training session on how to deal all the different types of poker we will be offering.

We have 14 doors that can be opened to let air in during the event but we need 28+ people to man the doors.

We need 10 -15 strong, early rising people to help Sunday at 5am to put away After Prom into the storage shed, and take the trash to the trash bins. Also, it is very helpful if some of the people could bring trucks to help move larger items to the storage area.

If anyone has bamboo or straw mats we could use them in decorating one of the halls.

We need help to decorate the cafeteria and one of the activity halls. These people primarily need to help plan, make some decorations, and decorate the areas. Please do not assume the After Prom committee has your name. Please email Stefani Ernst at stefanisews@aol.com or call her at 303 689-0281.


Athletics

There will be no Special Olympics Basketball practice this Sat. Jan. 20th.

Equipment and suit orders will be placed at this time. Late orders will not be guaranteed. Registration forms can be found on our website at http://eteamz.active.com/AHSBoysSwimDive.com
