BLOOD DRIVE

HEY BEARS! Remember this Friday is the Blood Drive! The blood drive buses will be located at the front of the school by the office for anyone who would like to donate. If your 16 year old student would like to donate, a parent permission slip needs to be filled out.  These can be picked up in B 21 the leadership room. Students who are 17 or older do not need a parent permission ship and can donate as they please.  If you have any questions about the blood drive, please come to B21. Donate blood and save lives!
