General Announcements
*Warriors, Arapahoe High school is lucky to have such an outstanding counseling team! Mr. Lewis, Mrs. Rivera, Mrs. McKee, Mr. Wadsworth, Mr. Baker and Mrs. McCarthy are all here to help students succeed in all aspects of their life!

*DECA is currently holding a book drive to collect books (new or used) for the free library at Gracefull Cafe. We are collecting books for readers of all levels. Donation boxes are located in the Business Office and at the east security desk in the bubble entrance. Any book donations would be greatly appreciated. The book drive will end Friday, February 16th.
*To celebrate Black History Month, we will be sharing information about African American advocates in the Mental Health Community. The African American community have made powerful contributions to the mental health field and we would like to shine light on and celebrate those contributions.
*Today’s African American Mental Health advocate is E. Kitch Childs. In 1969, she helped found the ‘Association for Women in Psychology’. She was also a founding member of Chicago's Gay Liberation Front. In addition to being a leader for women in psychology and the LGBTQ+ community, she also owned her own practice in which she provided therapy to LGBTQ+ folks, people living with HIV/AIDS, and other marginalized members of her community. She practiced feminist therapy, and centered her research and work around the experiences of Black women and feminist theory.
*Congratulations to our Arapahoe FBLA. 101 students qualified for the state FBLA conference at our district competition yesterday. 35 competitors were conference champs by taking 1st place. AHS earned the overall Conference Champion this year with the most points earned per student than any other chapter. Shoutout to Mrs. Swank in the Business department for hosting this incredible event for our district.
