10 donors needed! Donate blood at the Riverside Middle School blood drive on February 10th from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm and receive $5 off your order at Cousins Subs as a thank you for donating! Use the QR code or link to sign-up: bit.ly/wsdfeb24.
Did you know that each blood donation can help save potentially 3 lives?? Not only are you giving back to a local WI patient in need, you are also helping your own body! Donating blood has many benefits such as burning between 600-650 calories, improves cardiovascular health, and lowers the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and cancer.

Check out these cool kids in their hats that they made for science! Mrs. Godfroy's 2nd graders at Schurz Elementary were stuck on an island with only a paper bag, string, a paper plate, tin foil, and 2 clips. They had to make a hat to shade their face from the sun. Look at the creativity they came up with!!
