Students in Señora Brodbeck's Spanish 2 class recently wrote their own four-act scripts about eating out in restaurants. They then shared their scripts with classmates who had to determine where everyone ate (from Avanti's to Nacho Mamas), what they had (from chicken alfredo to hairy—yes, hairy—chicken fingers), how the food was (you can imagine), and who paid the bill—if they paid it at all!
The National Honor Society of Midwest Central High School is hosting a Red Cross Blood Drive on Thursday, March 7, 2024. Donation hours will be from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM in the high school gym.
Walk-ins are always welcome. However, for the best donor experience, please make an appointment in advance by calling 309.968.6766 or by emailing Bree Kerley at kerley@midwestcentral.org. You may also make an appointment on the Blood Donor app, online at www.redcrossblood.org, or by using the QR code.
Making an appointment helps to ensure we have the appropriate number of Red Cross personnel to accommodate our donors and helps get you in, out, and on your way! Please consider using the Rapid Pass system to complete your pre-donation paperwork before the day of your appointment. This can also help shorten your stay at the donation site. Visit www.redcrossblood.org/rapidpass for easy, step-by-step instructions.
Remember, donating blood during an NHS-sponsored blood drive provides you the opportunity to give a lifesaving gift as well as support the scholarship opportunities of our National Honor Society members.
