On December 14th, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Carter Blood Care will provide 2 ways for our community and older students to donate blood for their blood bank.

Stafford Elementary’s bus hopes to have parent and community donations at their location. The class with the most donations in their teacher’s name will receive either a pizza party or an ice cream party.

Italy High School’s bus will accept donations from anyone 16 years and older who would like to donate. Students who accrue four donations by graduation can earn red cords to wear on graduation night. Anyone can donate in the name of a student to help him/her achieve this recognition.

Please plan on donating. For every donation received, three lives can be saved! Between Thanksgiving and Christmas each year, more donations are needed. Our goal is to have 2 donations per bus every 20 minutes.
