This year, we are holding a coat drive to help support their community, and we need your help! If you have a moment over the break to do a little spring cleaning, please set aside any gently used coats and jackets for this cause. We would love to be able to share lots of warmth, literally and figuratively, with our friends on the Wind River Reservation. We will be collecting these items April 1 - April 10. See Mr. Morahan or Ms. Kershaw with any questions. We are grateful in advance for the generosity our Arapahoe community consistently demonstrates!
