December 12, 2012



General Announcements

Good morning warriors!  As you probably know, The Muse has been publishing and celebrating Arapahoe's creative student artists and writers for over a decade.  This year, however, for the first time in eleven years, I am sad to report that we currently don't have enough student writing to create a magazine.  Never in the history of the magazine have we been in this situation.  But we are not giving up, and hope you won't either.  We are extending our deadline for writing to the very end of the semester, and we will be looking for your stories, essays and poems--we are especially short on poetry this year.  You don't have to think of yourself as a "writer" to submit something; I have seen great college essays, personal memoirs, and heartfelt poetry from all kinds of students, of all ages.  The Muse strives to represent everyone in the school, but we can't do it if you don't send us your work.   Stop by the library desk this week to take a look at the Muse magazines we've published in years past, and you’ll see it’s something special, and you can be a part of it.  There are over 2,000 of you, and each of you has a story to tell.  Submit your work before the semester ends, and let's keep this tradition thriving.  

Thank you to all who helped wrap the toys for Colfax Elementary yesterday.  You beautifully wrapped 450 toys in just 45 minutes.  Thank you Warriors!

TSA club will meet again this Wednesday after school in Room E7. This will be "Competitive Event" rules meeting as we will go over and print out all your State Competitive Events Rules.  Hope to see you.  Our final TSA meeting of the semester will be next Monday, Dec 17.  State TSA conference money and paperwork is due then!!!!

The library will close at 2:00 tomorrow, Tuesday, for a staff meeting. Students should plan ahead. We apologize for the inconvenience.


Athletics

Congratulations to the girls swimming and diving team on their exciting win against Grandview last week. Good luck to them today at home against Fossil Ridge. 

Congratulations to the Varsity Girls basketball team for their win last night over Arvada West 59-35. The win pushes the varsity team, currently ranked 2nd in the state in 5A, to a 7 and 0 record. Thanks for the support to all that made the trip to A-West.  The varsity will be in action next on December 18th against Broomfield , who is ranked 1st in 4A. Come out and support the Lady Warriors Basketball team.

Attention any girl who wishes to play girls' soccer for Arapahoe this spring. We will be having a meeting tomorrow, December 12 in Room N5 at 2:30 p.m.  Meeting is mandatory and will last less than 20 minutes.  Thanks.

Do you have a hidden talent you would like to present to your fellow Warriors?  Mr. Sisler is the Master of Ceremonies for all home basketball game half-time performances.  If interested in being a part of any of these events, please see Mr. Sisler in the Athletic Office.  It's a Great Day to be a Warrior!
