The blood drive on Thursday, February 27th was a huge success. Our goal was 44 pints and with your help, 50 pints of blood were collected saving up to 150 lives! We couldn't do it without so many generous individuals donating their time and themselves! We also had 16 high school students sign up to donate, with 10 first time donors. This can be incredibly scary to do for the first time and each one of them is amazing! Thank you San Pedro Valley!

Dear Families,
I want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support and partnership. Yesterday, we received a report regarding a suspicious vehicle at one of our bus stops. In an abundance of caution, we kindly ask that parents or guardians be present at the bus stops whenever possible. Your cooperation helps ensure the safety of all our students.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Our last blood drive for this school year NEXT Thursday, Feb 27th from 1:00-5:00 in the MPR. Our goal is 44 pints and if we get 50 pints we can get an increased scholarship for our students! Log on to www.redcrossblood.org and pick the time that works for you!
The Red Cross is in a critical need for all blood types. The crippling winter storms pounding the Midwest and the devastating fires in California and the beginning of a long, hard recovery, have caused them to have to cancel hundreds of blood drives and lose more than 10,000 pints of blood. We need all the help we can get to keep the shelves full for both local need and the help our neighbors and fellow American - It's all hearts in and all sleeves up to save lives!
Our MedPro students are actively searching for donors (they are graded on this). Please talk to any of the students or Mrs. Jacquez to help you get signed up. Each donor will receive a $15 merchant e-gift card that includes Amazon as an option. Give the gift of life and get a gift card in return.

Save the date! K-5 parents, mark your calendars for Family Reading Night Thursday, Feb. 27 at 6pm in K-Hall.
