Blood For a Cause

Blood For a Cause

By Carly Polay

It’s that time of the year again! The blood drive is back and you can donate for a great cause. Come down to the north gym December 18th to give some blood. If you are 16 years old or younger, you need need a permission slip from your parent or guardian. However, if you are 17 or older, all you need is your driver’s license or a form of ID. Our very own student council sets up this drive in order for people to do something very simple for someone who will need this blood. If you have any medical problems or get dizzy, queasy or nauseous, this might not be for you. There will be other community service events happening throughout the school year that you will definitely be able to participate in.

“The blood drive is a great event that really anyone can participate in. Don’t worry about getting sick, just eat or drink something right after and you’ll be good!” says senior president Christina Vittas.
