On Wednesday, April 10, Service Board and The American Red Cross hosted our year’s final Blood Drive in the Athletic Complex from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Based on faculty, staff, and students’ donations, 30 units of blood were collected, potentially saving more than 30 lives. Snacks were provided for anyone donating to prevent dizziness and restore glucose after their donation.  

Thanks to Ms. Bening, Ms. Crain and to student volunteers Adrianna B., Miranda B., Moll F., Colin H., Alli K., Ella L., Caroline M., Gelila N., Amanda N., Priya R., and Eliora T. who oversaw this event. 

Service Board’s next drive will be in October. Anyone who meets the age, weight, and height requirements is invited to volunteer: each 25-minute donation could save up to 3 lives.
