<p>Stuyvesant will be hosting its first <strong>Blood Drive</strong> of the school year on <strong>Tuesday, September 25<sup>th</sup>. </strong>Hurricane Florence leaves many Americans in danger. In emergency situations, local blood supplies often reach critical lows and blood centers across the country are relied upon to help fill in the gaps. A continuous blood supply is vital to ensure that all areas, hospitals and patients impacted by the hurricane have access to the emergency blood they need. Right now, blood donations are needed more than ever. If you have been looking for a way to help out the hurricane victims, this is the chance! To meet the requirements to donate, students <strong>must be 16 years of age or older by September 25</strong>. There is also a height and weight requirement shown <a href="http://www.drive.google.com/file/d/0B7SMHM_xCzVXOFBZSUlUT3RGNjZ5TDJneUZPSERwUmxNdWdj/view?usp=sharing">HERE</a>.</p>
<p>There will be free pizza and snacks, as well as a raffle. If you are a <strong>senior</strong> who donates twice this school year, you will receive a red donor cord to wear during graduation. Students must be 16 years or older to donate.
