On Friday, Oct. 25, the National Honors Society (NHS) put on one of their bi-annual blood drives to help people in need of blood transfusions and other medical conditions. DHS<\/span> has partnered with Versiti Blood Center of Michigan as they have in previous years. The blood drive took place the majority of the day in the green gym where they had 9 chairs for students to give blood at the same time. They also had lots of snacks and water for the students to enjoy while they waited to be released as well as a TV with Disney movies playing. The blood drawing process takes less than 15 minutes and can save up to 3 lives per donation. <\/span><\/p>\n

Logan McNamara was one of the organizers that helped set up the operation. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were given the goal of recruiting 62 potential prospects, we ended up falling just short of the goal, we had 56 total appointments, with probably around 10 walk-ins throughout the day,\u201d McNamara said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to the blood drive taking place on the Friday of the MHS vs. DHS football game is seen as the reason why they didn\u2019t reach their goal of donors.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSeveral students couldn\u2019t donate that day due to being involved in football, pom, cheerleading, band, etc.\u201d McNamara said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, the blood drive was very successful with the possibility of around 138 lives being saved due to the donations of DHS students and staff.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6787,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-1-news"],"yoast_head":"\nSaving lives one drop at a time - UPDATE ONLINE<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/update.midlandps.org\/index.php\/2019\/11\/saving-lives-one-drop-at-a-time\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Saving lives one drop at a time - UPDATE ONLINE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/update.midlandps.org\/index.php\/2019\/11\/saving-lives-one-drop-at-a-time\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"UPDATE ONLINE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DHSUpdate\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-11-08T15:54:43+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-11-08T15:55:26+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Trevor McIntyre\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@DowHighUpdate\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@DowHighUpdate\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Trevor McIntyre\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/11\\\/saving-lives-one-drop-at-a-time\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/11\\\/saving-lives-one-drop-at-a-time\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Trevor McIntyre\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/b7dde6b41bed811d3c964f9f237a5a9a\"},\"headline\":\"Saving lives one drop at a time\",\"datePublished\":\"2019-11-08T15:54:43+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-11-08T15:55:26+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/11\\\/saving-lives-one-drop-at-a-time\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":241,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#organization\"},\"articleSection\":[\"NEWS\"],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"CommentAction\",\"name\":\"Comment\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/11\\\/saving-lives-one-drop-at-a-time\\\/#respond\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/11\\\/saving-lives-one-drop-at-a-time\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/11\\\/saving-lives-one-drop-at-a-time\\\/\",\"name\":\"Saving lives one drop at a time - UPDATE ONLINE\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-11-08T15:54:43+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-11-08T15:55:26+00:00\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/index.php\\\/2019\\\/11\\\/saving-lives-one-drop-at-a-time\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/update.midlandps.org\\\/\",\"name\":\"UPDATE ONLINE\",\"description\":\"H.H.
