The local Red Cross made their annual stop at EHS last Wednesday, November 13, giving students and faculty members an opportunity to donate their blood. The turnout was (AB)solutely awesome with a total of 49 people donating throughout the day. Before the day had started, Red Cross and EHS’s goal was to collect 41 pints of blood. EHS gave 45 pints of blood to the Red Cross for those in need! Red Cross would have received 49 pints, but they only received the 45 pints due to four people have issues giving blood. No one passed out this time unlike recent years. Everything ran very smoothly under the direction of Mrs. Janelle Brace. Senior Zach Schaidle told us that “This year was a lot better than last year. Everything went smoothly.” A big thanks to everyone who made a difference and helped saved lives.
