BLOOD DRIVE

The next GHS blood drive is Monday, October 2 from 6:30 am to 1 pm in the gym.  Please give and help save a life. 

  • Remember:
  • Anyone 16 and up can give.  If you are 16 you will need a signed parent permission form each time - you can give these to Mrs. Lewis ahead of time or bring them with you the day of the drive.
  • You need your driver’s license OR your blood donor card.  
  • Please remember to eat a good breakfast and lunch and drink
extra fluids.  We don’t want you getting sick or passing out!  
  • We would like to keep our double red machines busy all day.  If you are type O-, O+, A-, or B- we’d love for you to sign up to give doubles (2RBC on the sign up sheet).
  • You can speed things up by going to
http://www.redcrossblood.org/rapidpass and answering the questions ahead of time.  This has to be done the day of the drive.  You can’t do it the night before.  Now you can do it from your phone!
  • There is an app for your phone that contains your donor card and all of your information.  Workers can scan it for your information.  It also keeps track of how many times you’ve donated and also allows you to make appointments.  Look for this symbol in the app store.
  • If you gave doubles at our last drive you won’t be able to give at this one.  Thank you for your previous donation!
  • Athletes in season are discouraged from donating - it takes 6 weeks to replace red blood cells - so it could prevent you from performing at your peak level.  Please donate once you are out of season!
  • Sign up with a blood drive representative during
lunch or email Mrs. Lewis to set up a time.
  • Grab your friends, sign up and give!
  • Please help us reach our goal of 70 usable units!

PSAT

We want to help prepare students for college, so on Monday, October 30, 2023, all 10th., 11th., and 12th. grade students will have the opportunity to take the PSAT/NMSQT® (Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test), an important test that provides many benefits that can help him or her along the path to college and is great practice for the SAT®. 
All students in grades 10 and 11 are strongly encouraged to take this test, which helps to see which AP courses students are most likely to do well in.  As a 10th. grader, this is valuable practice prior to the junior year.  Another test, the PSAT10 will be offered between Mar. 4 - April 26, 2024.  More information will be given closer to that date.
If you are a junior, the PSAT/NMSQT offers the opportunity to enter competitions for scholarships that can help pay for college. 
12th. grade students are encouraged to take this test as practice for the SAT.

Registration form from Mrs. Rodenburg and fee must be submitted prior to taking the test.
Please pay Jody Parks, Secretary, $18 by cash or check payable to Glenwood Community High School.  Students on free/reduced lunch may receive a fee waiver from Mrs. Rodenburg.  Mrs. Rodenburg sent out a survey to all juniors to register.  10th. and 12th. graders need to email Mrs. Rodenburg to ask her to send the PSAT registration form.
For more information about the PSAT/NMSQT, visit psat.org
If you have questions, please contact Mrs. Paulina Rodenburg.
Signup and payment deadline:  Thursday, October 26, 2023.
