Sunday, November 11, is Veterans’ Day.  During WWI, nearly 3 million teenage boys and girls went to work for the US defense.  They deferred their educations to make victory possible, working long hours each day in dangerous places such as shipyards and airplane fuselage plants.  Please remember their contributions this Veterans Day.

Athletics

On Saturday, November 2, 2012, Arapahoe took the field against Heritage in a 5A football game at Littleton Public Schools Stadium. There was, however, more to the event then the Warriors 42-7 victory. During the game, the Arapahoe Cheers, Football Team, Toms, Wrestling Team and the Littleton Thunder raised over $800 which will be donated to the American Red Cross Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund. This would not have been possible without commitment of the five organizations along with the parents and fans of both Arapahoe and Heritage High Schools. We are truly a community that cares.

Arapahoe has advanced in the 5A football playoffs and will travel on Friday, November 9th to take on Horizon at North Stadium with a 7:00 p.m. kickoff. Ticket prices will be $5 for students and $7 for adults.  Go Warriors!


Hey Warriors ~ there will be a "spirit" bus headed to the football game on Friday at North Stadium.  Bus tickets will be sold for $3 during lunch on Wednesday and Thursday only. This bus will take students from Arapahoe to the game and return all students to AHS after the game is over. Let's pack the stadium with Warrior Spirit and cheer our team on to another victory!  Go Warriors!

This announcement is for everyone interested in competing for the Arapahoe Warrior Track and Field Team.  There will be a brief informational meeting this Wednesday in Room S-14 after school.  We will be discussing important items such as winter workouts, weight training, and indoor meets.  We will also be informing you of some important dates that pertain to the upcoming spring season.  If you are unable to attend or are currently in a winter sport and plan on participating this season please stop by the math office and see Coach Lienemann.  GO WARRIORS!
