Will Arrowood (above) and Destiny Dohm (below) were two of the donors during the blood drive held May 10 by Polk County High School health occupations, along with the Red Cross. A total of 123 people presented to give blood, including 10 staff members, three parents and 110 students, which was approximately one-third of the students eligible to donate. Volunteers collected 104 units of blood. Polk County High School hosts blood drives each fall and spring and is consistently the largest blood donation site throughout Polk County. Pam Arrowood, HOSA advisor, said she appreciates those who gave blood. (photos submitted by Pam Arrowood)
