The Willow Springs High School Spring blood drive will be held on Wednesday, January 25. All students that are 16 years of age or older can sign up to donate at Ms. Tina’s office window. Sixteen year-olds must turn in a parent permission form unless they turned one in at the last blood drive.
Girls need to keep their iron levels up with multivitamins, fortified breakfast cereals, spinach, and white beans. Donators will be given snacks and drinks after they have donated along with a free “Angry Blood” t-shirt. Check them out on the blood drive posters or in Mr. Knapp’s room by his whiteboard.
