General Announcements

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

Attention all members of National Honor Society: It’s time for our first meeting, today after school in the forum. It will only last 10 minutes, so please be there by 2:20.

CALLING ALL FRESHMEN! Today at 2:30 in the cafeteria will be a Homecoming T-Shirt Decorating Party hosted by your link crew leaders! Please buy a homecoming shirt during either lunch for 5 dollars! All paint, glitter and snacks will be provided. Bring your friends, Homecoming T-shirt, and most of all your creativity! See you there!

Get your game on tomorrow for sports day! Be sure to go all out representing your favorite sports team. Tomorrow during both lunches, DECA will also hold a BBQ. Also, don’t forget to attend the bonfire at 7:00 tonight!

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.
