More than 80 people walked out of the Small Gym on Jan. 27, proudly wearing “I’m a donorsaurus,” “Got Blood?” and “I’m a Hero. I gave blood,” stickers on their chests as participants of the school’s biannual blood drive.

One out of every 10 people admitted to a hospital needs blood. On April 30, 58 students helped save these people's lives with their donations to the Stanford Blood Center Drive, a biannual event hosted by the community commission.

The event went on from 8 a.m to 2 p.m. in the Small Gym, which allowed students to choose the most convenient time to go. Students, however, first had to meet a few requirements.

Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood. Saratoga High students helped save these individuals' lives by generously donating blood in the Stanford Blood Drive Jan. 29.

The bi-annual blood drive was hosted by the SHS Community Commission and was scheduled to run from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Small Gym. Although many appointments were pushed back
because the Stanford Blood Drive truck broke down along the way to the school, the drive had a good turnout of 69 donations, according to head commissioner Daryl Chang.
