Spanish II students had the opportunity to sample some atun fruit!
The Art Club/ FCCLA Blood Drive last week went well, 17 units were donated. The Blood Center has what they call a "Life Savings Grant", where if we meet a specific goal, they give us money to donate to a cause. In the past we've given the money to Camp Courageous in Monticello.
We had more than enough signed up to donate, but due to various deferrals, not everyone who signed up could donate. So currently, we are three short of our goal. However, if anyone is interested in donating, it can be counted towards Benton's total. The donation just has to be done within the week.
I asked the coordinator if they were doing any drives in the community during that time, and sadly there are not. So you'd have to go into the center in Cedar Rapids.
So please do consider, as they are in desperate need of donations. (If you've donated in the past you already know this due to the calls, texts and emails you've probably received).
Join us as we celebrate Veterans.
Reminder: If you have lost, jewelry, keys, or earbuds that lost and found is located in the Activities Office with Mrs. Eggert. The custodians bring small items to the office and put all clothing and shoes in the lost and found underneath the stairs by the History wing.
