On Tuesday, October 1, a Red Cross representative visited our Lower School students to deliver a presentation about the Blood Drive.

To familiarize our younger Vikings about what is involved in our Upper School Blood Drives, seniors Lindsay Dunlap and Carolyn Zhang created a scavenger hunt for them. They hid blood-related facts throughout the Lower School, including “There is a 97% chance that you or someone you know will need blood products at some point in their life ” and “800 donors are needed every day in Central Ohio.”

The Fall Blood Drive is on Wednesday, October 16, in the Athletic Lobby.

Upper schoolers and faculty may donate or volunteer in any of the three volunteer shifts: 7:30-9:30 AM, 9:30-11:30 AM, and 11:30 AM -1:30 PM.
