Arp, America, we need your help please.
It is time to rally around some of our Arp Elementary Tiger Cubs and help them during a difficult time.
We have multiple Arp ISD families that have been affected by a terrible car accident Sunday that has hospitalized a few of our students.
We are asking that every student wishing to show support bring $1 on Tuesday Jan. 9 to assist these families with the costs associated with hospital & travel. Elementary students will turn in their $1 directly to their classroom teachers, while J.H. & H.S. students will turn theirs in at their campus front office.
If you'd like to donate more, you can to do so at Arp State Bank where Arp ISD has an account set up. Just let a bank teller know that you'd like to donate to the Arp ISD accident victims fund.
We also ask for your prayers. Thank you.
Woo-Hoo!!! 5 of our senior 🐅🏈 players earned Texas High School Coaches Association Academic All-State honors. That means they are among the very best in all of Texas in taking care of business in the classroom📚 as well as excelling on the gridiron. Good moral character is also a factor. Let's give them a 👏!
Fisher Arrington, TE/DE - Elite Team
Michael Clepper, OL/DL - 1st Team
Zach Garrett, RB/LB - 2nd Team
Ty Bardsley, K - Honorable Mention
