St. David Community: You may have been asked already to sign up and donate blood at the coming blood drive but if not, here is your invitation! Mrs. Jacquez's students are getting a grade for this, so please help! Also, in the past, a student from our school has received a $500 scholarship because of the amount of blood that is donated at our drives. This year they have increased that to $1000 if we collect at least 51 pints! At the spring drive we collected 47 pints, which is our record! BUT.... if we collect 54 pints (a new record) at this drive, the scholarship goes up to $1500! We can bless 3 students with $500 for college! AND we are saving lives!! It doesn't get better than that! Sign up and get your family there to donate as well! Each Power Red Donation counts as 2 pints towards our total and they are giving us 8 donation spots for power red! They believe in our students and our blood drives! Please help us! If you have questions about Power Red donations please let Mrs. Jacquez know. https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/drive-results?zipSponsor=stdavidhs to sign up or ask any MedPro student for a flier with the QR code. Let's do this St. David!
