General Announcements

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. Donations can also be placed into one of the large jugs located in the library, the front office or the DECA store. Thanks for all your support and helping make a difference Warriors!

“In support of Warrior Week, the annual Staff vs. Senior basketball game will be this evening at 7pm in the AHS main gym. There will be stupid human tricks throughout the entire night. If we raise enough money, there will also be a half-time dunk competition! So come meet the family we are supporting, hang out with friends, and watch the seniors crush the staff! Tickets are $3 presale or $5 at the door. Tickets can be purchased in the cafeteria during all lunches this week. And don’t forget to buy your Warrior Week t-shirt, on sale during both lunches. Thanks again Warriors!

Hey all you talented Warriors. The Prom talent show is coming soon, and tryouts will be held on April 5 and 6. Sign ups will be available in the main office the week after spring break--March 28-April 1st, so start planning your acts!

Congratulations to the JV Black Boys Lacrosse team on their comeback win over Cherry Creek this past Tuesday! The season continues this afternoon as the guys face another tough rival in Kent Denver. Come on out to Kent Denver High School after school today at 4:00 PM, and cheer the team on to another victory.

The AHS Varsity Girls' Lacrosse team played a great game against the #1 ranked Cherry Creek Bruins yesterday. Although the Bruins prevailed in the end, with a final score of 18 - 12, the Warriors played all out with heart and soul. Rachael Sutton led the scoring with 4 goals, followed by Syndey Englehart with a hat trick, Allie Camp with 2 goals, and Kate Englert, Molly O'Donnel, and Isley Walker with one goal each. Chloe Williams made 12 saves on 30 shots. Keep up the hard work, ladies! Go, Arapahoe!

Congratulations to the girls Varsity soccer team on their 5 to 1 win last night over Sand Creek. They will play again on Friday night against Denver East. Come and support ABK soccer! Go Warriors!
