James A. Dever fifth grade students learned an important lesson about helping those in need as they participated in the Little Doctors Program, sponsored by the New York Blood Center. During the presentation, the students learned important facts about donating blood, and the need for such donations. They learned the necessary requirements for blood donation, and what they can do to encourage family, friends and neighbors to donate.
Many students found it interesting that only 2% of the population donates blood, and that each donation can save three lives. Our future Little Doctors learned a lot from their visit with the NY Blood Center, and many of them will be volunteering their time at our annual blood drive.
