As we near the end of the first semester, ACP’s Knights are as busy as ever. With the holiday season in full swing, our students have a lot of events to look forward to this week! Here’s what you need to know about what’s going on this week:

“Tie One On For Safety” Public Awareness Campaign 

This Tuesday, December 11th, the Desert Car Care Center at 95 N Dobson Road will be hosting its annual “Tie One On For Safety” public awareness campaign to prevent people from driving while intoxicated.

Stop by the center, located at 95 N Dobson Road, any time between 7:30 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. on Tuesday to participate in the campaign!
