Red Cross Blood Drive At Nashua Catholic June 14th  7:30AM -12:30PM
  
Mrs. McFadden, Mr. Maldonado, Mrs. Edger
We're excited to announce that Nashua Catholic Regional Jr. High School is participating in the American Red Cross Future Blood Donor program, which introduces middle school students to the importance of blood donation. The program offers our school an activity that is not only fun, but also educational and gives our students a chance to support our community.
 
The Future Blood Donor program teaches students about the function of blood in our bodies, the different components of blood and the importance of blood donation. Students are then asked to recruit individuals to donate at our school's upcoming blood drive. The Red Cross believes that we will help create a future generation of blood donors by getting students involved at an early age, and we share their vision.
 
Donor request forms were sent home.  Extra copies are in the office.
Each student who recruits at least one person to come out to donate at the blood drive will be recognized and will receive a fun appreciation item from the Red Cross. We want our students to know how important they are and about their impact on their community. This experience will be a fun way to engage our students, and the best part is knowing that they are helping save lives!
 
Below is the information for our school's upcoming blood drive.
 
Nashua Catholic Regional Jr. High School
Wednesday June 14, 2017.  7:30 am to 12:30 pm
