Lending a Helping Hand When it comes to helping those in need the SHC community always shines through. The Blood Drive turned out to be a great success, bringing in over 102 pints of blood. The Blood Drive was sponsored by Ms. Lorentz's Social Justice class. The Irwin Memorial Blood Bank began drawing blood early in the morning and continued to take do- nors late into the afternoon. The process is quite painless. All you have to do is lie down and after one little prick. you have given one pint of blood and saved ten lives. Many people were nervous about giving blood, but after going through the process they realized how important their donation was and relaxed. The school's donation helped meet the demand for this precious source of life. Mrs. Ershler's sociology classes helped with the Clothing Drive. For weeks they encouraged students to bring in their old and unwanted clothes. The class also helped organ- ize the clothes and set up refresh- ments. On February 13 the school opened the cafeteria doors to those in need. The students helped pass out the clothes and socialize with those who came. In less than an hour all of the clothing was distributed to people in need. On February 14 the adult community participated in a day of hospitality and service, giv- ing more clothing to the poor. The Clothing Drive was very successful in helping out those in need. -Nicole Bocci lt X 9 4 lgr 20 Raising Our Voices fie, X 1 1 .
