Pembroke Hill is rolling up its sleeves for a bloody good cause. On October 21st, the school will host a community blood drive open to students, parents, and faculty. The event aims to bring everyone together to make a simple yet life-changing impact by donating blood.
Giving blood may seem like a small gesture, but it can save up to three lives with every pint. Hospitals rely on steady donations to treat patients during surgeries, emergencies, and illnesses, and the need never takes a day off. Plus, donating has its own perks: it’s quick, free, and even comes with snacks afterward.
More than just an act of service, the drive represents Pembroke Hill’s spirit of community and care. Whether it’s your first time donating or your tenth, each contribution adds up to something bigger. Students and teachers alike are encouraged to stop by, bring a friend, and help turn compassion into action.
So mark your calendars for October 21st, grab a juice box, and join in. It’s one of the easiest ways to make a difference—and a bloody good one at that.
