The CHS Interact Club held its 15th annual Blood Drive on Thursday, November 15th. Set up began at 7:15 in the Mezzanine, and the Blood
Drive started at 8:00 and ran until 1:00. Students that signed up were
assigned a time to come give blood. On average, between 75 to 90 units of blood are
donated each year, this year's donation coming in at 86- enough to save 258 lives.
“This is the best thing a student can do,” says club
sponsor Mrs. Nadine Jones, “because all the blood donated goes to Blood
Assurance and is distributed to the (Cookeville) hospital, so it stays locally, and we
are in short supply during the holiday season.” Students who donated were provided food,
drink, and a t-shirt, and a second Blood Drive will be held in the spring for interested students aged 16 and older.
