For Mikayla's senior project, she chose to put together a blood drive for the Red Cross. She coordinated with the Red Cross supervisor and the school and set up December 21st as the day. We had to have four or five volunteers and she got both grandmas, me, Braquel, Kimberlee, and two other girls that were taking the CNA tech class with her to help. Everything went really smoothly until the day before when the principal at the junior high decided they needed their gym for a dance instead of the blood drive...panic mode! Luckily, the Red Cross approved the band room for the draw, so it was back on! (Huge sigh of relief!) All in all, they had over 50 people try to give blood and I think they ended up with 47 pints of blood. Mikayla was a little disappointed they didn't reach their goal of 50, but the Red Cross people were thrilled with such a turn out and most of them being students. It was really neat to participate in the blood drive and we've all decided to continue giving blood! We're so proud of Mikayla for all of her hard work putting this together!
