WAITSBURG-Twenty-five volunteers went to the Waitsburg High School gym on March 22 to donate blood. The Waitsburg High School National Honor Society (NHS) hosted the event, and the American Red Cross provided medical personnel from the Tri-Cities.

"It was very successful," said NHS advisor Olivia Leid who appreciated the turnout. The donated blood stays in the Pacific Northwest unless there is an emergency.

NHS students Natalie Teal, Sarabeth McGowen, Levi Boudrieau, Monte Pettichord, Makenna Barron, Jasper Morrow, and Jackson Karl helped out at the event.
