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! 
 
 
CLUBS AND ACTIVITIES

The Environmental Club has created a self-reflection survey to help students see where they could lessen their environmental impact. Students can see possible answers by clicking on “View Accuracy” after taking the survey. Responses may also be used for future club presentations at board of ed meetings or shared with other environmental organizations. We’d greatly appreciate it if you could take the survey in your free time. A link to the survey will be in the daily announcements. Thank you! https://forms.gle/62XYaSpy4cj6kQAL6
