ACADEMIC AND ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES

 

 

WELCOME BACK STUDENTS

 

On August 25, the SGA sponsored a WELCOME BACK STUDENTS Day/Evening from 10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.–8:00 p.m. in the student parking lot. Snow cones, popcorn and cotton candy were served as part of the celebration.

 

 

BLOODMOBILES

 

One of SGA’s goals for 2004-2005 is to sponsor five bloodmobiles. We held our first bloodmobile on August 25, 2004. Fifty-seven people presented, and 52 units were collected. Other bloodmobiles are scheduled for October 20, December 15, February 9, and April 6. The bloodmobiles begin at 11:00 a.m. and end at 3:30 p.m. and are held in the Student Activities Center. Donors must be 17 years old or older, weigh at least 110 pounds, and be in general good health. The bloodmobiles are co-sponsored by the Shelby Rotary Club, Cleveland Headline News, and The Knights of Columbus of Saint Mary’s Catholic Church. Please come and “give the gift of life” and help us reach our goal of 60 productive units. The entire process takes approximately one hour.
