YOU BETTER WATCH OUT, YOU BETTER NOT CRY, YOU BETTER NOT POUT, I’M TELLING YOU WHY…SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN.  Yes…Santa is coming to bring a new toy for each boy and girl at Colfax Elementary and the Denver Indian Center. The day after Thanksgiving is the biggest shopping day of the year.  Think about shopping for a boy or girl at Colfax Elementary.  Our goal is 1,000 NEW toys.  Shop the sales for the best buys.  Bring your toys to the Attendance Office after the Thanksgiving break.  Let’s make it a great holiday for the kids!  We know Arapahoe can make it happen! 

Have you taken Business Technology 1 yet?  If not, this announcement is VERY IMPORTANT for you!  The business department is offering the Business Technology 1 Proficiency Exam today from 2:30-3:00 in Room S2.  If you are a strong typist and can pass this exam you can enroll directly in Advanced Business Technology 2 for your graduation requirement.  Stop by the Business Department if you have any questions.  

Warriors, you do not want to miss the You Matter Club meeting today after school in the guidance center.  We will start at 2:30 on the nose!  Come join the fun.

Don’t waste your time Friday night watching reruns of Dancing with the Stars; the real stars will be out on the football field taking on Valor in the playoffs!  Catch all the action live on UStream.tv by searching, “Arapahoe Football”, or by following the link on the school’s webpage.

Good morning, warriors!  Are you hungry?  How would you like a big fat burrito from Chipotle, with chips and guacamole on the side?  Well, now's your chance--submit art, poetry, stories or essays to the Muse this week and you will be entered in a drawing for a $10 Chipotle gift card.  Yes, we're offering it again, during our deadline week!  To submit to the Muse, simply go to our web page, located under "Activities" on the Home page, and you will find directions for how to submit your creative work.  This is your last chance for $10 worth of Chipotle, so get out those poems & stories you've been sitting on and get them into the Muse for publication!  But remember, you must submit your work by Friday!

Please help remove any locker tags from your lockers that are for past or non current events by the end of the week. Thank you!

The north fields on the Arapahoe High School campus are closed due to an irrigation project.  These fields will be closed through February 18, 2013.  During this time, students who walk to and from the apartments located to the north of AHS, will be required to use the sidewalks on University and Franklin for accessing the school. The school district will be putting temporary fencing around the project on campus.  For safety reasons, please adhere to the posted signs.

Warriors always take care of one another.
