The Red Cross has gone on a
National Appeal for blood donation for the first time since 2004. After
having to cancel drives due to snow and impassable roads the blood
supply is now the lowest it has been in ten years. This means that
elective surgeries may be canceled and hospitals may not have the blood
they need for patients. Any adult who wishes to donate please call the
nurse at 205-589-6432 to schedule the time that is convenient for you or
show up the day of the drive.
Students 17 and over who weigh 110 lbs
are eligible to donate. Student who are 16 and weigh 110 lbs are
eligible to donate with parents consent. Blood drive Feb 17 in the game
gym 8:00am- 2:30pm.
