Calvary Christian Schools will hold its fall blood drive on November fifth, from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The blood drives are sponsored by the National Honors Society and are staffed by the NHS volunteers.
The CCS blood drives are an easy way to help our community and to make a difference in someone’s life. Did you know that one pint of blood can save up to three lives? With all of the recent national disasters, like floods and tornadoes, this is a way for all of us to help not only our local community, but our state and nation, all without leaving our own school.
The CCS National Honors Society, along with Mrs. Deb Stenberg, their advisor, put in many hours planning and staffing the blood drives. Along with gaining community service volunteer hours, the NHS senior members can earn scholarship funds. Our goal is to get twenty-five good donors for each blood drive, fall and spring. During our last drive, we actua
lly had fifty-six donors show up. We had more donors than the Red Cross could handle!
Help us surpass our goal again. Students sixteen years old can donate with parental permission, people seventeen and older can donate on their own. So please, ask your friends and family to help save lives by donating to the CCS National Honors Society blood drive!
You can sign up and get the donation time you want by contacting an NHS member, the CCS office or by registering online at http://www.redcrossblood.org/make-donation. By donating blood, you not only get the satisfaction of knowing you helped save lives and served your community, but also you get cookies! That’s right - Keebler helps sponsor the Red Cross and provides free cookies and juice to all who give blood.
Don’t forget, save the afternoon of November fifth to donate blood and save a life!
