*Be a part of the 20th annual Warrior Toy Drive! Every year, the Arapahoe High School Community donates holiday gifts to a highly impacted school in the Denver metro area. This year we have chosen to support Littleton Public School's very own, East Elementary! Toys and donations will be collected through December 8th. Students and Staff will be delivering these toys on December 14th directly to East while our Arapahoe Singers carol for them. Toy donations are for girls and boys ages 5-12, ranging in price from $10-20. Please do not donate weapons or toys that require batteries. We hope you will consider giving to this wonderful cause. It is a powerful experience that both the students at East Elementary and Arapahoe High School will remember for years to come. If you would like to donate a monetary contribution we will do the shopping for you and provide school supplies to all the classrooms too.
