PreK and 1st Grade students got to see the Zoomobile today and learned about a rat, a bearded dragon, and a tortoise. They were able to pet the tortoise on her shell before leaving.

Every two seconds, someone’s life depends on a blood transfusion. Those in need range from people involved in unexpected emergencies like car crashes to cancer patients and organ and bone marrow transplant recipients.

This National Blood Donor Month, be a hero and make a life-saving donation. Each donation can save up to three lives. The donation process is simple and takes just a few minutes. LifeServe is immensely grateful to those who regularly donate blood, and we encourage those who are eligible to join them.

As an added benefit, every unit counts towards a scholarship for a Menno Student!
