On Friday, October 3, Curtis High School (CHS) held an extremely successful blood drive. The goal for their drive was set at 90 donors, which they eclipsed by registering 103. We also had 64 first time donors! This was a larger turnout than any of the drives that they sponsored during the last school year. Cascade Regional Blood Services (CRBS) would like to thank the Key Club for sponsoring this great blood drive. Responsible for coordinating this blood drive were ReneeVerona of Key Club and Terry Jenks who is Assistant Principal and Athletic Director.
The students at CHS did a great job of assisting our staff. They helped promote and sign up students prior to the drive, and also on the day of the drive. They helped in the canteen, passed out t-shirts and helped sign students in and out of class. Their efforts helped to make a very successful blood drive.
CRBS is looking forward to the next blood drive at Curtis High School. Their hard work helps CRBS maintain an adequate blood supply to our community hospitals. Our next blood drive at CHS is scheduled for March 26. With the dedicated students and staff, we know it will be another very successful blood drive.
The Curtis High School Key Club, under the direction of their advisor, Renee Verona, put together the fall blood drive at their school. The Key Club has been organizing the drives at CHS for many years. Their Key Club is very active and always has an abundance of volunteers to help organize and recruit donors. They also provided great support on the day of the drive.
Assistant Principal and Athletic Director, Terry Jenks, is instrumental in setting up drives. He provides support throughout the planning process and during the drives. His commitment to CRBS and our community is appreciated and an important part of every drive at CHS.
During this first drive of the new school year, 81 students and staff participated. Thanks for the great support given to CRBS and the hospitals in our community that rely on the participation of groups like this one at Curtis. We are looking forward to our next drive on March 25.
Members of the Curtis High School Key Club helped recruit 131 donors, which set a record this year! Students rallied to make this fall’s blood drive the best ever. Photos below were submitted by an officer of the Key Club.
