Precious pints

MLHS Student Council hosts American Red Cross Blood Drive

Each pint of blood donated at an American Red Cross Blood Drive is precious. That is because each pint can help save a life.

Members of the Mountain Lake Public High School (MLHS) Student Council hosted the March collection in the school’s auditorium on Tuesday, March 29. Faculty co-advisors are Jaime Banks and Kim Syverson.

The American Red Cross collected 40 points on their visit to the school.

Following are some of the young donors who did their part in helping to save lives:
