Century High School is holding a blood drive for students and staff on January 24th & 25th. Every 10 minutes, someone in Olmsted County urgently needs a blood transfusion. Your simple act of donating blood can save the life of a premature baby, restore the strength of a cancer patient, or provide a critical transfusion to an accident victim. Plus, there are yummy cookies, a free t-shirt for first-time donors – and the feel-good buzz of saving up to three lives – waiting for you after your donation! The Mayo Clinic Blood Donor Program will be in the cafeteria during lunch on Thursday, January 18th answering questions and signing up any interested blood donors.
Today we celebrate, remember, and reflect on the incredible life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. - "Life's most persistent question is: What are you doing to serve others?"
