April 8 was the annual blood drive in the small gym. Many kids left their classes to go and donate blood.

“I wanted to give back,” junior Abby Bishop said. “I don’t feel like I do enough to give back.”

According to the Red Cross website, someone needs blood every two seconds.

“I love donating blood. For me at least, the pros outweigh the cons, saving a life is more important than being uncomfortable for ten minutes. I wish more people would do it,” senior Shannon Kelly said.
