General Announcements
*Hey Warriors! The 2024 Arapahoe Toy Drive is here! If you are new here or don’t remember, every year we pick an elementary school full of students whose families need a little extra holiday cheer in the form of toys, hats and gloves. And this year, we are supporting College View Elementary in DPS and the Denver Indian Center. College View is located off Federal and Yale (about 20 minutes away). They have about 350 students and nearly 93% of their students qualify for free/reduced lunch, 85% of students are students of color.
Any Toys + money that Arapahoe raises go towards these sweet families and their Christmases. It also goes towards buying every one of them a pair of gloves and a hat, as well as buying classroom supplies for their teachers. If you bring a toy, aim for an elementary-aged one for 5-10 yr olds that’s between $10 and $20, is not battery-operated and is not a weapon. We want you to bring these toys on Friday to TRIBE! TRIBEs that bring in the most toys and most money will win prizes for each student!
One thing that sets Arapahoe apart from other schools is how we care so much about our community. It’s one of our best traditions. This is a great way to showcase that. If every student brought in one toy, we’d have well over our 1000 toy goal. If you can’t bring one in on Friday, you can bring toys all the way until Dec. 16th. Thank you for supporting these awesome kids in heart and mind. Arapahoe is a cut above when it comes to sharing joy.
