<\/a>On Tuesday, March 5, the Red Cross paid another visit to Pueblo High School\u2019s Lever Gym, and once again, Warriors rolled up their sleeves to donate blood at a very crucial time in the community when blood donations have been steadily decreasing in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The blood drive was organized by Student Body Secretary senior Czarina Grijalva, who has been organizing Pueblo\u2019s blood drives for the past two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not as stressful as you think to organize a blood drive,\u201d said Grijalva. \u201cIt\u2019s our community duty to donate blood, and the Pueblo community has been historically generous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Red Cross member Chastity Morris said, \u201cStudents should try to donate blood because it saves lives, and everybody\u2019s blood type is valuable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One blood donor, senior Sergio Lopez, said, \u201cI donate blood to help my community, and knowing that I could be saving lives is definitely a motivating factor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PHS librarian, Ms. Marsha Jean Burrola, rolled up her sleeves as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been a blood donor since I was 17,\u201d she said. \u201cI am thankful I can share my health with others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A total of 17 pints of blood were \u201ccollected\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pueblo’s next and last blood drive will be held May 8\u2014when the PHS community is encouraged to help a shortage of blood in Southern Arizona. Students must bring their IDs and a signed permission slip, available from Student Council. Students must be at least 16 years old to become blood donors and meet certain criterion; students who are 18 or older do not need a signed permission slip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
