MLHS Student Council-sponsored Bloodmobile is a pints-filled success.
The Mountain Lake Public High School (MLHS) Student Council-sponsored visit by the American Red Cross Bloodmobile on Tuesday, April 1 was a success – even though it fell on a day traditionally dedicated to April Fool’s Day jokes. Students, along with a smattering of adults, including those on the school staff, took seriously the fact that blood donations help save lives – and gave that gift of life in plentiful fashion. Forty pints of blood were collected.
Below are a few photographs from the Bloodmobile:
