Give Blood, Save a Life
By Phillip Zimiga ‘13

 Red Cloud students and faculty volunteered to give their blood to save lives last Friday in Eben Hall.

Sister Connie Schmidt of the Spiritual Formation Department organized the Blood Drive. The United Blood Services from Rapid City come to Red Cloud once in the fall and again in the spring.

27 students from the high school signed up to donate. Faculty members also donated- 58 people donated blood in all. “It’s a good day to answer the call to serve the greater community by donating blood,” said Sister Connie.

Sister Connie said she had received an email from the United Blood Service that because of the bombing in Boston, people should really donate blood to help people that had blood injuries.
