Friday, Jan. 26, STUCO will be hosting its annual Blood Drive in the Back Gym. Students can sign up to donate blood through the American Red Cross website. Once on the website, enter sponsor code ‘LafayetteHS’ and schedule an appointment from 7:45 a.m.-1:00 p.m.
In order to give blood, All donors must bring a valid photo ID. 16-year-olds can donate with a signed ARC consent form.
The ARC website says in order to donate, donors must “be in good general health and feeling well.”
Additionally, they must weigh at least 110 pounds.

STUCO sponsor David Choate encourages people to sign up to donate.
“The ARC said this is the worst shortage they’ve seen in 20 years. One donation saves up to three lives so it’s a great way to give back to help your fellow man and woman,” he said.
As an incentive to participate in the event, the ARC is partnering with the NFL this January, during National Blood Donor Month, and those who donate between Jan. 1-31 will automatically be entered to win a trip for two to Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas.

![In order to meet Federal Student Aid application deadlines, many local resources, including Lafayette counselors, are available for one-on-one meetings. Even if you think your college is paid for, we still heavily recommend going ahead and filing the FAFSA so that you dont lose out on any opportunities, College and Career counselor Alex Dusenberry said. A lot of four year universities say you can only get scholarships if you complete the FASFA. [Also], it is a requirement that you complete the FSA in order to get A+ credit.](https://lancerfeed.press/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FAFSA-graphic-1.png)
