General Announcements

Students are reminded that they should carry their student ID during the school day.

Warriors! Lookin’ Good in the black and gold today! Be sure to attend the football game tonight and watch your Warriors take on Regis at LPS stadium at 7:00 p.m. Tomorrow, don’t forget the homecoming parade is at 10 a.m. Come admire the talents of many clubs and sports as they cruise around the school. Tomorrow is also the dance! For only ten dollars, you can get your groove on. Student council is selling tickets in the cafeteria during both lunches today. You can also buy your tickets for fifteen dollars at the door.

Students are reminded to bring his/her ID to the Homecoming Dance Saturday night. Please remember that the Homecoming Dance is a semi-formal event and no denim or blue jeans are allowed. Please dress in semi formal attire.

EeePCs are in the library! Students may checkout a EeePC Netbook to use in the library –all you need is your student ID. The EeePCs are a great option if all the desktop computers are being used or you’d simply like to sit at a table to complete your work. The wireless access in the library is excellent. The next time you need to use a computer, drop by the library and give one of these a try.

Students…..If you have received an Arapahoe Student Calendar that has several pages of the calendar section incorrectly assembled, please go to the Main Office to exchange it for a corrected version. Apparently one case of calendars was distributed with this assembly mistake. Thank you!

Hey Arapahoe! We want to give more of you an opportunity to audition for the Fall Talent Show so we are giving you some more time to put those fantastic acts together. Auditions will now be Monday, September 14th and Tuesday, September 15th! Sign up in the main office and show us your talent.

Are you ready to "Join the TSA Team"? Plan on attending the first TSA meeting of the year, next Monday, Sept 14 at 2:25 in room E10. If you signed up for TSA during Club Cafe, here's your chance to get involved in this exciting club. See Mr. McMullen if you have questions.

The Herff Jones Company will be taking class ring orders on Tuesday, September 15, during lunches in the cafeteria. You can pick up an order packet in the Main Office or the Guidance Office.
