Sounds like a vampire should have said that right? If so you were close, but the Red Cross was at our school on Friday, February 26th, to take all of our blood.
Overall, the drive was a big success. Quite a few people helped out with the event and a lot of people donated. A total of 50 people donated. Some left the drive with bruises and sore arms, but it’s going to help a lot of people out. For every pint of blood that is donated, up to three lives can be saved. So that means our school is helping to save 150 lives. If you ask me, that’s pretty amazing.
On behalf of the entire Key Club, Mrs. Gorman and I would like to thank all of the people who donated. You have done a great thing, and will save many lives by doing so. We would also like to thank everyone that helped out, Key Club volunteers and Red Cross workers alike, without all of you, none of this would have been possible.
I would also like to make another announcement. On May 14th the Red Cross is coming back to PHHS. That means another blood drive! So save your blood and get ready to donate again. If you’re at least 16 and healthy you should definitely donate, it’s for a great cause.
Thanks again and make sure you’re ready for the next one.
