Hooked up to the machine that collects your blood, senior Nicole Rendon waits as her blood is drawn. The blood drive was hosted by HOSA where they partnered with Carter Blood Care. “Honestly, I’ve never (donated blood) before, and I wanted to try it, and plus you get a chord too if you donate twice,” Rendon said. “I was nervous at first, but honestly it wasn’t that bad.”

"(The blood drive) allows people to donate blood for those who really need it, and so it's a really great thing that so many people come out and donate blood in order to help others," senior HOSA member Lily Lopez said. "It is really crucial for them."

In the PHS gym, senior Courtney Reed gets ready to donate blood. Carter Blood Care works with the HOSA organization to host a blood drive for students today, Nov. 27. Seniors can get an honor cord for graduation if they donate twice – once in the first semester and once in the second semester. There will be another opportunity for 16-year-olds (with a parent-signed form) and 17-year-olds (and older) to donate in the spring. "Every blood drive we do saves so many lives," HOSA sponsor and health sciences teacher Kelli Factor said. "As you know, there is a massive shortage of blood available, so this really does make a difference for our community. Every pint collected can save up to three lives."
