Most people, kids in particular do not like getting poked with a needle or seeing blood makes them squeamish. Why do High school students give blood? When asked, here are some of their responses; "I want to make a difference", "to give back", "because I have the choice to do so", "the snacks are great", "It gives hope to people", "It gets me out of class", "the blood supply is low" and "if I need it I want there to be some available for me".
NHS collected 33 units of blood, which were just 3 short of our goal. Considering this was an early release Friday we had an hour and a half less than we usually would have had, it was really successful.
