Hey, Juniors and Seniors! Prom is fast approaching, but unfortunately, that comes with an increase in reckless driving. The Stoplight Campaign was created by Arapahoe seniors in hopes of bringing awareness to the dangers of driving under the influence. Keep an eye out for posters this week around our school, where you can scan the QR code or visit thestoplightcampaign.com to pledge to never drive under the influence. And mark your calendars for Monday, APRIL 30th -- that will be our official day of awareness, and we'd love to see everyone dressed in RED for support! Remember, warriors always take care of one another, and we want everyone to be safe on prom night!
