General Announcements
As we bring to a close our week of remembrance for the Veterans whose courage continues to protect the freedoms and values of the American people, please remember the words of Elmer Davis, “This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.” Regardless of the day, always share your thanks with the men and women of our Armed Forces.

Hey Warriors: Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, but not everyone can be home for the holidays. We still have many of our troops fighting for our freedom overseas. Please help our troops during Veteran’s Week by donating either supplies, in the boxes located throughout the school, or money in the jars located in the DECA store, main office, and library. Some supplies that are needed include: energy bars, beef jerky, travel-sized games or cards, single servings of trail mix, candy, cookies, cereal, powdered beverages, etc.
There will also be a card for everyone to sign to send to the troops during both lunches today. Thanks for your support, Warriors!

Have you taken Business Technology 1 yet? If not, this announcement is VERY IMPORTANT for you! The business department is offering the BT1 Proficiency Exam on November 18th from 2:30-4:00. Room S3. If you pass this exam you can enroll directly in Advanced Business Technology 2 for your graduation requirement. Stop by the Business Dept. if you have any questions.

Congratulations to the many applicants to National Honor Society who were recently selected as new members!

Your Arapahoe Warriors will travel to Regis this evening to take on the Raiders for the 2nd round of state football playoffs. Kickoff is scheduled to take place at 7:00 pm. Play-off admission prices are $7 for adults and $5 for students. Only CHSAA passes will be accepted at this game. Go Warriors!

Attention all track and field athletes. If you were unable to attend yesterdays informational meeting regarding the spring season and the upcoming winter workouts please stop by and see Mr. Lienemann in room S-14 sometime before the end of the week. Thank you to those of you who were able to attend. I believe that there is a lot of excitement building around this year’s track and field team. The track team would also like to wish the football team good luck in Friday night’s game. Go Warriors
