*WARRIOR WEEK UPDATE:

THANK YOU WARRIORS!!! We raised over $18,000 last week for our Warrior Wish Week! Michael is going to Disneyland and he sends his love and thanks to our wonderful Warrior Family!

We raised enough money in one day that Mrs. Pramenko got pied in the face three times! Thanks Mrs. Pramenko (and her family)!

Thank you for finding ways to support Michael and AHS. Our Student Council students found a way to reimagine this Warrior Week to keep the spirit of it alive!

Arapahoe High School and MAKE-A-WISH® COLORADO thank the following sponsors for their support of

Warrior Week!
