This year's blood drive at MLWGS was the most successful ever, with 91 students who signed up to donate blood. Over 68 units of blood were collected, and the school was able to assist Virginia Blood Services in saving over 100 lives.
"We had our best turnout ever for a blood drive," said Mr. Don Blanton, Blood Drive organizer and Key Club Sponsor. "The new law [which allows for 16 and 17 year-olds to donate] that was passed was a big factor... more donors were able to sign up than in previous years."
The field hockey team challenged all school clubs and sports teams to have the most participants in the blood drive. Field hockey won the ice cream party prize, with 12 donors participating. Volleyball came in a close second.
