Blood Drive a Great Success
Key Club hosted an extremely successful blood drive on yesterday with over 110 students signed up to donate blood. The blood center is part of a network of communities of blood centers across the country. The blood is first disturbed locally; sometimes, it is shared between communities, so blood is not wasted.
"I feel like the blood drive went well. A lot of people signed up, and many of them showed up. However, some students were turned down due to iron deficiency."
- Aaron Mendoza (12)
"The blood drive was pretty successful. However, there were some minor setbacks. Even if just one person donates, it could save a life." -Diego Cardenas (12), President of Key Club
-Catalina Lopez
"It was a crushing success. We had 26 students waiting to donate at one point. We had overwhelming success with no big setbacks."
-Mark Eichenberg
"I felt kind of nervous, but at the same time I was excited. I donated because I wanted to find out my blood type."
-Emmy Dela Peña (12)
"I donated to get out of class. I feel anxious about donating."
-Cedrick Pullen (12)
