Announcements for ETSU University School
(Last update Thursday, November 05, 2009 10:57 AM)  
  • There will be a blood drive at University School in the gym on Monday, November 16th.  Any student who is 17 or older may give blood (or 16 with a parent consent form signed).  This is a wonderful community service and a great way to get our young people helping others early.  Students must sign up with Ms. Cradic by November 12th, to be excused out of class.  There will be a list provided on Friday, 13th.  If someone does not sign up before November 12th, and still wants to give blood, they will need to do so after school.  Thank you!
