Almost everyone during their life will know someone who needs a blood transfusion - car accident or trauma victim, cancer, transplant patient, people with sickle cell disease or other blood disorders. There is no substitute and still only one source of blood for transfusion – volunteer blood donors. The FCHS student council is sponsoring an American Red Cross Blood Drive on Tuesday, March 23, in the girls’ gym from 8:00 to 1:00 P.M. Anyone who is 16 years of age or older may be eligible to give blood. Consent forms are available in the main office, which are to be signed by parents and returned to Mrs. Kakac. Students who are 18 or older may sign their own consent form. Sign up in the main office to reserve a time, and fill out the consent form. Each year many lives are saved in our community because high school students have given the precious gift of life. All seniors who donate blood are eligible for a scholarship.
