Great River School is hosting a blood drive this month!
Last May, we raised 20 pints of blood and recruited 25 first-time donors. Due to that success, a bloodmobile from the American Red Cross will visit again to take donations on Wednesday, October 26th from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM in the GRS parking lot.
Students aged 16 and up, as well as parents and teachers, may be eligible to donate blood. Everyone who is eligible is encouraged to donate!
To schedule your appointment, please talk to organizers Claudia Weiss or Mari Lies, or email Claudia at cweiss@greatriverschool.org.
Please contact Claudia or Mari if you
- have questions about eligibility
- have other concerns about the process
- would like to volunteer to help out
- are ready to schedule your appointment to donate
Parental consent forms are required for all 16 year-old donors. They are not required for students ages 17 and 18. Parental consent forms will be posted on the bulletin board in the A3 commons. All 16 year-old donors must bring a completed consent form to Mari or Claudia before requesting an appointment.
