Here's a blood drive with a unique twist - sponsored by Ada Aspirations Team
Ada students may participate in an American Red Cross blood drive on Thursday, March 20. The drive takes place in the 1986 gym from 3 to 8 p.m. The drive is sponsored by the Ada Elementary Aspirations Team.
Persons interested in being a donor may register by calling the elementary office. Students who get donors will receive a Red Cross backpack.
To help support the blood drive, Ada K-6 students are writing letters to the donors thanking them for the donation and saying how donating blood has specifically helped them or their loved one.
