ATTENTION PARENTS! After both of our annual Blood Drives, we are only 13 blood donations short of the $500 Lifeblood Scholarship awarded to a National Honor Society member. The NHS would be most appreciative if members of the SBA community, if eligible, would donate a unit of blood by April 30 to Lifeblood (mentioning SBA) so we can reach the goal. Thank you in advance!
