Spartan spirit and the desire to help others was
evident this past month as students donated blood and registered for the
OneMatch Stem Cell Registry. We had a number of first time donors and
some 3rd time donors!
For the past two school
years, Claremont has has been the top school in British Columbia for
number of units collected in Canadian Blood Services' Young Blood for
Life Challenge. Last year 145 units were donated during clinic visits
and the mobile site at the school. Claremont is proud to be the only
school on Vancouver Island to host a mobile site. This school year on February 29th Canadian Blood Services will transform our Learning Commons into a blood donation clinic.
Well done Claremont, and remember - blood, its in you to give! Watch for the announcement of blood drive dates in December.
