PHS holding blood drive May 4

by Derra Clark

Pittsford’s student council will be hosting a blood drive on May 4 from noon to 6:00 p.m. They are trying to shake things up a little this year with a fun theme. “We are doing a vampire theme,” said student council advisor Mrs. Ervans. There will also be prizes to win for students who donate blood. “We are giving away movies for two students,” said Mrs. Ervans. The two movies that will be for the winning are Twilight and 30 Days of Night.

The goal the student council is hoping to reach is 40 units of blood. They did not make that goal at the last blood drive, and are hoping for a better turn out this time.

For students who need community service the blood drive is a great source. You can give blood or work at the blood drive and earn community service.

If you are thinking about donating blood there are requirements you need to fill. “You have to be at least 17 (years old), be in good physical health, and weigh at least 110 pounds,” said Mrs. Ervans. You can come to the small gym anytime from 12-6 and enjoy the vampire theme while giving blood.

If you are interested in working at the blood drive you can contact Mrs. Ervans before May 4.
