Thought for the Day: Some people are like tea bags – you don’t know how strong they are until they’re in hot water.

1. You may not think of yourself as the answer to someone’s prayer, but every time you donate blood, you are. Every time you donate blood, you help save a person’s life – a mother, a child, a brother. There is no bigger difference you can make in a person’s life than giving them life itself. The hour it takes you to give blood could even save up to three lives. The DHS blood drive is Thursday, October 21st. Please sign up in the nurse’s office. You will NOT be able to sign up to donate the day of the blood drive. All donors must sign up by Tuesday, October 19th. We need all the donors we can get.

2. Students are reminded – NOTHING is to be taped to the wall above your lockers!

3. There will be a mandatory Boys’ Basketball sign up meeting on Friday, October 22nd at 2:25 in Mr. Porter’s room 121. Any boy grade 9-12 who is interested in playing basketball this year should plan to attend.
