Did you know that approximately 38,000 pints of blood are needed every day in the United States? Well, Washington Street School’s fifth graders held a blood drive to help. We asked our family, friends, teachers, and neighbors to donate blood at our April 7th blood drive. As participants in the Little Doctors program, we made posters, wore scrubs, wrote thank you cards, and assisted at the drive. Almost 100 pints of blood were collected. It was a great experience for all of the fifth graders. When we turn sixteen, we’ll get to donate blood too!

ReplyDeleteThis is something that Washington Street is good at!We were so kind that we were able to save lives!! We are doing great with all the programs that are being set so that we can be kind to others and maybe even save another life....a Slogan that I made up for this program was:"We save a life by doing kind things to lives."
ReplyDeleteThis slogan was made by Josiah James and not by the school....so don't get mixed up. We are doing great in all these programs that show acts of kindness were doing great Washington Street
