THEY SAID IT: “My hope is to get students to realize that they’re definitely needed. They can help other people and that it’s not as bad as people think. I love the fact that students can sign up and give blood at the same time as their friends and maybe feel like they have some sort of support.” – Anatomy teacher Todd Diederichsen
