Every year Franklin's leadership class organizes two blood drives for those students who are willing to donate blood to the American Red Cross. On April 15th, was our second blood drive of the year, and was said to be more than a success. Throughout the day about 75 students who donated, which totaled to about 75 pints of blood! AMAZING! There were also about 11 double red cell donors, which means that they donated through a special process called apheresis where larger amounts of only certain components in the blood are taken out. "It felt good to know that I saved 3 lives, " said senior Tiauna Jeffers. It wasn't even that bad!" The organization is a good way to help people, especially children, around the world who are in need of blood transfusions."I love donating blood; it gives me a good feeling inside." said senior Jane Robson.
