Blood Drive
The blood drive is tomorrow!!! For those of you that have an appointment, an email was sent to you yesterday with the time of your appointment. We currently have a waiting list, so feel free to still sign up. It’s nice to have a waiting list if students do not show up to their appointment.

Some reminders:

If 16, you need your parent/guardian to sign a parent consent form. You must bring it with you tomorrow in order to donate.
Everyone needs a state ID or driver's license because it has a picture and birthdate. If you do not have either of these, please send an email to Mrs. Enderby today.
Eat food and drink plenty of water both today and tomorrow.
Arrive at your appointment 5 minutes early.
The blood drive is in the Auditorium.

Thank you to everyone that signed up!
