Did you know one pint of blood can save up to three lives? Giving blood is a simple thing to do, but it can make a big difference in the lives of others.

The Harrison High School Biomedical Science program is teaming up with Hoxworth Blood Center to sponsor two blood drives this school year. The first drive will take place on Monday, October 26 from 7:45 AM - 1:30 PM in the Activity Center Arena.

The drive is open to the public. All donors will receive a free vintage sweatshirt! If you are 16 or older, you may be eligible to donate blood.

SLSD has a .25% earned income tax levy on the ballot this November 3rd. This is issue #7. If passed this levy would generate about $2.2M annually.

Levy proceeds would be used to bring back gifted programming at the Junior School, an elementary guidance counselor, and eliminate ALL SCHOOL FEES including pay-to-play fees. Passing the levy would eliminate the need for cuts and help offset losses in state foundation revenues and tax revenue losses from HB186.

A levy failure would likely result in cuts for next school year without some increases in state funding through the next biennium budget.

It is a small ask, with big returns – in terms of programming and financial stability.
