On Friday 9/30 we had a successful Blood Drive sponsored by the National Honor Society. The National Honor Society volunteered along with other students to help register, monitor and walk donors to and from the donation area. We had a total of 32 appointments - 29 donors showed up to donate. We had students, staff and community members donate for a total of 23 units collected. The American Red Cross team was very pleased with the outcome and stated it was a very good blood drive for our small community.
