*Warriors - here is an announcement from Amelia Rysavy.  

  • Hi, my name is Amelia. I am a senior and I would like to tell you about World Down Syndrome Day.  Today we are wearing crazy socks to recognize the kids at Arapahoe and all around the world who have down syndrome. Wearing crazy socks reminds us we are special in our own way and we are together in life.  The reason we celebrate today on March 21st is because we have 3 groups of 21 chromosomes and this is called Trisomy 21.  I love being a student at Arapahoe just like you. Be proud of your crazy socks today and who you are.  Thank you and have a great day!


*Warriors - great country & country club outfits.  Don’t forget our Community Carnival TONIGHT from 5:00pm-8:30pm.  Entry is FREE and you can purchase 50 tickets for $20.00.  Also, go to Twisted Sugar in Highlands Ranch from 9:00am-9:00pm for some yummy sweet treats. Just mention you’re supporting AHS Warrior Week.

  • TOMORROW - wear Black and Gold Day and anything but a Backpack - don't forget the rules - nothing larger than 12 X 27 inches (rolling suitcases size), you must be able to carry it by yourself, nothing motorized or that requires electricity, no live animals or family members, no glass
