Senior David Hollins III, decided to give blood for the first time. He said it was because, "I found out how much my blood type is needed."
Junior Gregory Spencer, also a first time donor, said, "I feel good about giving blood because I feel like I helped someone, maybe saving someone's life."
Senior Shameka Moore volunteered to help at the event and said, "I feel so ecstatic to see our young people supporting those who are sick or need blood tranfusions. It touches my heart because it doesn't take long to give blood and save someone's life."
Blood Center staff member Mr. Patrick Elliot said the students were all very helpful and respectful. Leadership Class Instructor Mr. Mike Hennicke was thrilled with the turnout and how well the student volunteers ran the blood drive.
There will be another opportunity for Messmer students to donate blood later this school year.
