I’m here today, giving to save lives,” said Dwayne Washburn Culinary Arts student. The Career Technical Training Trade students from the Nursing Assistant and the Medical Administration Assistant coordinated the event. They registered students, distributed materials and served snacks. “Working in this blood drive is a big deal to me, knowing that we are able to help save lives.

I enjoy working and helping out, it’s a blessing to others,” said Rayneeka Miller, Medical Administrative Assistant student.
