General Announcements:

In honor of Veterans Day this Friday, the Social Studies Department has invited veterans to speak to Arapahoe students. These veterans will be speaking all day in the forum, so if you would like to hear their stories or ask them any questions, please stop by the Forum during any of your unscheduled hours on Friday.

Would you like to send a service member a holiday card to let them know they are being thought of? Then please drop a signed card into the collection box for Holiday Mail for Heroes at the cafeteria or in the library. Cards must be signed and contain no addresses or personal information. The cards can be commercial or handmade. Cards are sent to random service members and cannot be delivered to specific individuals. Cards do not need envelops as envelopes will be removed prior to shipment. Collections will continue through Nov. 11. Thank you for considering those who are serving the nation this season.
