On Friday, November 6, White River High School (WRHS) held their annual fall blood drive, and it was a great success. At this drive, 94 students were registered and 58 were first-time donors! Sponsoring the blood drive were the Future Farmers of America (FFA) and the coordinator was Todd Miller, a teacher at WRHS.
The students of FFA conduct a one-day sign-up table in the lunch room. The group also solicits donations of donuts from the local Safeway in Bonney Lake for everyone that donates blood at WRHS. The students and our staff are very organized and work together as a team to conduct this short, but intense, 4 hour blood drive in the School’s gymnasium. The students also work on the day of the drive, passing out t-shirts and assisting in the refreshment center.
The blood drive in the fall is sponsored by the FFA and the blood drive in the spring is sponsored by the Key Club. There is a friendly competition between the two clubs. Cascade Regional Blood Services (CRBS) would like to thank these students groups, and all of the students and staff of WRHS for their support. Their blood drives help CRBS maintain an adequate blood supply to St. Anthony Hospital, Allenmore Hospital, and the rest of our community hospitals. We are very much looking forward to the spring blood drive at WRHS.

On November 7, The National FFA Organization (FFA) held its largest blood drive since November 2004 at White River High School! An amazing 104 students were registered at this blood drive. This was such a great accomplishment because the drive was limited to only four hours due to other school activities that day! Coordinating the blood drive was Todd Miller, Teacher and FFA Advisor. With the help of Todd Miller, the students of FFA showed tremendous leadership skills in putting together this great drive.
The students of FFA conducted sign-ups for the blood drive, assisted in the canteen, and helped pass out t-shirts. They also procured donuts for the donors and blood drive volunteers from the local Safeway. Congratulations to a fantastic group of students, with notable mention to Victoria, FFA Member, for her invaluable leadership on the day of the blood drive.

White River High School had an extremely successful blood drive on November 9. This was their first drive of the new school year and was again sponsored by FFA (Future Farmers of America), who have stepped up and done a fantastic job over the years. Future Farmers of America, coordinator Todd Miller, teacher and FFA Advisor, were instrumental in exceeding the drive goal. We set the goal at 85, and 87 people registered! This drive contributed a significant number of units that will help support Good Samaritan and our other area hospitals.
