General Announcements

Congratulations to the Cincinnati Bengals who are the 2013 DECA dodgeball champions.  It was a very exciting championship game between the undefeated Seahawks and the Bengals, but in the end the Bengals prevailed. We would like to thank all of the students that participated in and came to watch the tournament.  

Hey Warriors, did you miss the Informational TSA meeting last week?  No worries, just come to the TSA meeting after school today at 2:25 in Room E6.  Be ready for some thinking as we'll be competing in our first Problem Solving competition!!  See Mr. McMullen for questions.

Warriors, tomorrow is Unity Day, our final day of Safe Schools Week.  In honor of the unity surrounding the Warrior spirit, please wear your black and gold tomorrow.  Let’s show off our community spirit!

Hey students and staff...the Stride 5k and 10k run event is this weekend. You can still register at www.runthestride.com    Come on out and run or walk in this LPS Foundation event. We need your help representing Arapahoe. The race is this Sunday, October 27th in Littleton.  

Next Wednesday, October 30th, Arapahoe High School has the privilege of hosting the Colorado Supreme Court.  Because of this, the library will be closed that day to student use in order to provide a place for a breakfast and luncheon for the justices and their clerks. The library staff realizes this will be an inconvenience and ask that you plan ahead for your study needs. Rarely does a school get such an opportunity to witness our legal system in action firsthand. Your flexibility and understanding is appreciated.

Sophomores, don’t forget about the opportunity to take the PLAN, a practice ACT test, on Saturday, November 2nd! Register in the Guidance Office now through October 28th. The cost is $15. 

Are you a writer or an artist? Do you have art, poetry, or prose that you think the world should see? Then submit to the Muse! The Muse is a student-run literary and arts magazine featuring the products of Arapahoe's most talented and creative students– and YOU can be one of them! To submit, visit the Muse page under the activities tab on the school website.

Attention all Arapahoe Students . . . we are calling on you to help others in our community who are in need. October 21-November 1 we will be collecting non-perishable food for the students and community at Field Elementary. Please help us support the Food for Field drive by bringing cans or non-perishable food to the boxes located in each classroom. The winning class will receive a prize. We will also be hosting a raffle during both lunches.  Please bring two non-perishable items in exchange for a raffle ticket. The winners of ten Deca Dollars will be announced on Friday the 25th and November 1. Show your support for the community and make sure to donate!

Drama Club is teaming up with Food for Field and will be collecting non-perishable food items each night of Romeo & Juliet. 

Café specials today:  Nicolo's calzones and Chick Fil A sandwich.  Lunch today:   French bread pizza, Sloppy Joe, variety of cold sandwiches, and salads.
