General Announcements

Thursday, November 11th is Veterans’ Day. Please stop by the Military Heritage Board by the Security Office and see all our Arapahoe friends and relatives who have or are currently serving in our Armed Forces. During WWII, nearly 3 million teenage boys and girls went to work for the 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.

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 on Friday, November 12th. Thanks for your support, Warriors!
