The student council organized their annual blood drive Dec. 8 and students 16 and up flocked to donate blood in the west gym throughout the day.
A total of 57 students donated blood.
“Donating blood is really important because I am healthy and have the ability to and it only takes about an hour out of my day,” Laila Blumer (12) said. “By donating blood I have the ability to save one to three lives.”
Curious about donating blood next year? Eligible grades next will see information about donating blood in their “Class of” Google classroom.
