Thank you to the students, staff, and community members who donated blood yesterday with the American Red Cross! Because of your donations, we were able to collect 28 pints of blood, which exceed our goal. Of course, the real winners are the patients in need of blood. As you know, each blood donation can help save up to three lives. Your donation is truly appreciated by the blood recipients and their loved ones. A thank you is also in order to the students who volunteered over the past week to sign up students during their lunch, and for your help yesterday during the drive. Because of your work, you made this a huge success. The American Red Cross and Student Council hope to see more of you at the next blood drive on January 9th.

Every day in America 20 veterans commit suicide because of issues resulting from their service to America. That is more soldiers than we lose in combat each day! This year as part of our Veterans' Day Program the high school is working with Mission 22 to help address this problem. Mission 22 provides vets with access to needed services and programs to prevent suicide. But they need our help to raise awareness and to raise funds for their efforts. To help this cause each class will be competing to raise $22 per day until November 7th. Teachers and staff around the school will be creating their own motivations for their classes and teams.
Current Motivators
Mr. Wallace (Freshmen Team) leg shaving
Mr. Ollhoff (Sophomore Team) mustache growing
Mr. Koz (Junior Team) head shaving
Mr. Skarda (Senior Team) Pie in the face
Mrs. Dietz (Staff Team) Pie in the face

If we meet our goal of each team raising $22 each day we will be able to make a donation of $1,400 or more! Get involved to help our vets! See your email for more details.
