Warrior Week is finally here, March 14th through March 18th! This year, Arapahoe will collect funds to support a local organization, Heroes Forever. Heroes Forever is a group dedicated to providing support and planning fun events for families who have a child with cancer. Student Council members will be carrying marked tennis cans throughout Warrior Week to collect money for this organization.
