This,
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.
Once
again it’s time for the annual Halloween Candy Jar Count in the Library!! Come
down to the library and guess how many Halloween candies are in the glass jar!
The student who comes the closest to the actual amount will win the jar
full of candy! Only one guess per day, please. The winner will be
announced on Halloween during the daily announcements. Happy Halloween from
your AHS Library Staff!
Do you owe a library
fine? Want to help someone in need? Bring nonperishable food items to the
library to reduce your library fine. For each food item brought in, your
library fine will be reduced by fifty cents. This is a great way to take care
of your library fines and help someone else at the same time.
Are you a writer or an
artist? Do you have art, poetry, or prose that you think the world should see?
