Give the gift of life: The American Red Cross is experiencing an urgent need for blood donations, and the Middleburgh Central School District is ready to help by hosting a blood drive  12-6 p.m. Feb. 28 in the high school library. It is an opportunity for students, staff and the community to come together for the community’s benefit.

Students who are 16 and older can donate, but those under the age of 17 will need a parent/guardian consent form. Students may sign up in School Nurse Jennifer Adams’ office or online. All other community members should sign up at redcrossblood.org and enter sponsor code: MiddleburghCS.

 Appointments for students and staff to donate will be available from 12-3 p.m. Appointments for community members will be available from 3-6 p.m. 

All donors will receive a $20 gift card for Amazon.com, which will be sent via email.
