The blood drive is open to students, staff and anyone in the Wadena area. Their goal is 100 successful donors. Walk-ins are welcome but appointments are preferred. To schedule an appointment or for more information, call Michaela at 218-640-6361. The American Red Cross will have its bloodmobile on the school’s campus in the Auxiliary Gym. Please enter through the main entrance of the middle/high school. “Each donor will leave knowing that he or she has directly contributed to saving a life or lives,” Lehmkuhl said. She and Wegscheid are good friends who wanted to organize blood drive as their NHS community-service project. More than just an honor roll, Wadena-Deer Creek’s NHS serves to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service and character.
