Give Blood, Save Lives!

Cherokee Families,
It is time for our 3rd Annual Blood Drive here at Cherokee. On Tuesday, Jan. 24 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. in our cafeteria you have the opportunity to help save lives. Three years ago this coming Feb. 14th my son was born. There were complications. However, a blood transfusion was a vital part of the reason he is with us today!
Recently one of our staff members children needed a blood transfusion during an organ transplant.
If you have never donated before it is quite simple. The initial stages (paperwork, signing in, etc.) takes the longest, but the donation itself only takes about 15 minutes. Your 15 minutes in the chair could make a difference for years to come.
Please donate!
If you have questions I would be more than happy to help. 417-523-7210 or email me at wtpowers@spsmail.org
Give Blood, Save Lives!
Thank you,
Bill Powers
Principal
Cherokee Middle School
