Turkey Valley Education Association hosts another very successful blood drive

The American Red Cross was at Turkey Valley School on Wednesday, April 2, for the 38th annual blood drive sponsored by the Turkey Valley Education Association.  This year’s blood drive coordinators were TVEA members Mindi Watters, Karen Suddendorf and Amanda Wiger.  Former TVEA member Nancy Cuvelier and Pat Lynch volunteered to oversee the blood drive.  This year’s blood drive collected 85 pints of blood from 92 potential donors, with 20 of those donors being current Turkey Valley students.  Fifteen donors gave a double donation by donating two units of red blood cells each.  Because the Turkey Valley Education Association reached their goal of 85 units of blood, two Turkey Valley seniors, Noelle Berst and Claire Achen, will be awarded $500 scholarships.  Steven Landa, Tierney Lensing, Allison Kuennen and Chloe Reicks will be awarded $250 scholarships.  All of these scholarships are from the American Red Cross.
