Goal – 100 Registered 73
Contact – Julie McKenzie
The recent drive at Sumner High School was again coordinated by the Family Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA). The CRBS Drive Consultant, Megan Johnson, reported that the group was extremely well organized under their president, Whitney Raffle and their staff advisor, Julie McKenzie. FCCLA members have runners get donors from class and also escort students to the bus. Walkie-Talkies are used to communicate with the CRBS staff on the blood mobiles.
Sumner High School provides exceptional support for CRBS, Good Samaritan Hospital in Puyallup and other area hospitals by sponsoring three blood drives each year.
Principal Gill Gaines and school nurse Robyn Lawrence were also very supportive as 73 donors registered to donate blood for this drive. This is the largest fall drive SHS has had in several years.
Last year 2 groups from FCCLA competed at state level and earned gold medals. One group qualified and went on to nationals where they were a runner up.
This year the school is offering the IB program (International Baccalaureate). Schools offering the IB diploma program must undergo a rigorous authorization process, culminating in a site visit by a delegation from International Baccalaureate Organization.
Congratulations the great accomplishments.
