The IKM-Manning High School Student Council held a successful blood drive on Friday, October 6. Concentrating on student donors, the drive had 59 donors respond and collected 54 units of blood. That was just one short of their goal. With every unit able to save three lives, just think how many lives are affected when students begin donating blood as young adults and continue giving throughout their lifetime. Ms. Newman's PLTW Principles of Biomedical Science class used the blood drive as a learning opportunity as well as they saw first hand what a phlebotomist does. Student Council members work the drive; unloading the truck and setting up in the morning, escorting donors, serving in the canteen, and tearing down and loading the truck up again at the end of the day. Many student council members worked a shift and then rolled up their sleeve and donated as well. That's service learning at its finest.
