Westmont Hilltop Junior-Senior High School Bulletin for Sunday, November 24, 2024
Hey, Westmont Hilltop! Time to Roll Up Your Sleeves (Literally)!
The Senior High Student Council is teaming up with the American Red Cross for a blood drive on November 27th, and guess what? They need YOU to save the day. You don't need superpowers, just some healthy blood and a brave spirit (or at least a willingness to bribe yourself with snacks after).
Sign up at the library desk during lunch through Tuesday, November 26th. Trust us, it's easier than your homework. Plus, you'll get a festive gift from the Red Cross—because nothing says "Thanks for your blood" like a little something-something!
If you're 16, you'll need a permission slip—sorry, rules are rules. If you're 17 or older, congrats! You only need a half-sheet permission slip (half the paper, half the hassle).
Remember: No appointment, no blood donation. So make sure you schedule ahead of time—this isn't a pop quiz, people! And hey, if your older siblings are home for Thanksgiving and want to avoid awkward family conversations, tell them to come donate too. They can sign up online at Your text to link... using code "westmonthighschool."
Don't let this opportunity slip away—donate blood and help save up to three lives. Plus, it's a great excuse to miss a class or two. (Just kidding. Maybe.)
