Blood Drive

We are incredibly grateful to share that our Winter 2026 Blood Drive was a tremendous success. This is our 5th Blood Drive and we are growing strong! With over 30 students and staff participating, we were able to collect 27 units of blood, each one representing lives touched and potentially saved. Even with the drive extended until 2:00 PM, we continued to have students and staff on the waitlist, a true testament to the generosity and civic spirit of our PCSST community.

Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, supported, and helped make this day possible. Your willingness to show up for others reflects citizenship in action, and we are deeply thankful for your compassion, commitment, and heart for service.
