HFCS Student Council Sponsors Two Blood Drives
by Gail Smith
On Thursday, May 29, the HFCS Student Council, under the leadership of Mrs. Deb Mabey, will sponsor a blood drive at HFCS from 8 am to 1:30 pm. This is not just for those who work or attend school at HFCS but is open to anyone who meets the criteria.
HFCS competes with all the schools in the Capital District for money for the Scholarship Fund. Schools have to meet a quota of units of blood donated, and the more they exceed it, the more money they earn. HFCS’ goal for the year is 200 pints in two drives, but they fell considerably short in the fall, so let’s help them make up those units so they can receive that Scholarship Fund.
The Student Council has also stepped up to the plate and is sponsoring a community blood drive on Friday, June 6 from 1 to 6 pm at the Hoosick Falls Fire Department. Previously, this drive did not have a sponsor. Thank you, students!
