General
Announcements
Today we will be celebrating Veteran’s
Day. We are honored to have guest
speakers in the Forum every hour who will share their stories of serving our
country in the Armed Forces. Their
experiences vary, but they share a common thread of bravery and commitment to
freedom and the people of the United States.
On this day of remembrance, we would also like to honor the nurses,
doctors and medics who devoted themselves to saving the lives of wounded
soldiers, and making the deaths of others less painful. You are welcome to come to the Forum during
any of your unscheduled hours today.
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 Health and Family
Services Center. Today is the
kickoff for the AHS Toys for Tots. Help us make a
child’s dream come true. Join us by bringing
a NEW toy to the Attendance Office. 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. We know Arapahoe can make it
happen! Let’s make this a special holiday for the kids!
