Peter Rank, Ellis Wood, and Noah Rasheed are teaming up with the American Red Cross to host a blood drive, and we would love for you to join us in this lifesaving mission. Every blood donation is vital, as it helps the Red Cross maintain a stable supply for patients facing emergencies, surgeries, and chronic illnesses. The event will take place on April 1st, 2026, from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM in the Deering High School gymnasium. We encourage all students who are 16 years or older, as well as parents and friends, to participate in this important community effort. If you are 16 years of age, please see Ms. Davenport to pick up a parental permission slip before you donate. As a thank you for your contribution, every donor will receive a $15 Amazon gift card. You can sign up to donate by visiting shorturl.at/vsces or by scanning the QR code on our posters.
