General Announcements

“War is fear cloaked in courage.” — General William Westmoreland

In honor of Veterans’ Day, November 11th, we would like to recognize those people who made and make soldiers’ jobs possible. During WWII, nearly 3 million teenage boys and girls went to work for US defense. They deferred their educations to make victory possible, working long hours each day in dangerous places such as shipyards and airplane fuselage plants. Please remember their contributions this Veterans’ Day week. Thanks.

In honor of our Veterans, Arapahoe TSA club will be collecting dollar donations at lunch through Thursday, to benefit our veterans. All money collected will go directly to a local Veterans organization. Please help TSA by donating $1 and receive an American flag sticker.

FBLA members we have a meeting today after school in room S5. We will be working on signs for Toys for Tots and having a friendly competition of Dance Revolution.
