The Taft Blood Drive was Thursday, March 9, 2023. Approximately 54 pints of blood were collected, which saves approximately 162 lives! The Taft Helping Hands Club along with Mrs. Neville and Mrs. Hastings, were in charge of running the event. The students welcomed donors and made them feel comfortable by giving them refreshments. Each donor left with a thank you card made by students as well as a little treat bag thanking them for their donation.
Ms. Kavanagh’s first and second grade Aspire class has been having lunch and play time with Mrs. Donnelly and Ms. Weller’s class. Both classes have been learning about differences that make people special, how to make friends, and what they all have in common. Next, the two classes will begin pairing up for reading buddy time!
