If you're a high schooler living or studying in Apple Valley, Rosemount, or any high school zone covered by the Dakota County Sheriff, listen up—this is for you.
According to information found on the city of Apple Valley's official site, the program will run on Tuesday nights from April 2-23, from 6 pm to 8:30 pm. But make no mistake, the clock is ticking.
