As the nation returns to holiday celebrations with family and friends this year, the American Red Cross faces historically low blood supply levels not seen in more than a decade. While people gather this holiday season, the Red Cross urges eligible donors to take time out to give blood or platelets for patients in need. The SWHS HOPE Club is proud to present our Winter Blood Drive here at the school on Saturday, January 8th from 8:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Please consider contributing to this great cause by signing up to donate at the link here: https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/drive-results?zipSponsor=swhs20, or by visiting RedCrossBlood.org and entering swhs20 to schedule an appointment. Your contribution will go a long way towards helping someone who is in need of a donation, so let's roll up our sleeves and donate today! 
 
COLLEGE AND CAREER CENTER

There will be another college visit to the Career Center this week. A representative from Long Island University will be here at 12:30 on Friday, December 17th. Students who are interested in attending should sign up in Naviance.
