“I’m a TIGER and we GIVE because we CARE!”  These are the words that drive the success of all of our character initiatives.  Last week we held our third annual Blood Drive with the American Red Cross.  Geggie’s goal was to secure 110 pre-registered donors.  We had 114 attempted donors equating 95 useable pints of blood collected!  Wow!  We also celebrated 10 donors who were able to donate double red cells on the Alyx Machine.  These donors are especially critical as their blood types are in high need and the double red cells go directly to hospitals that night!  We recognized 24 “First Time Ever” donors which was the highest number of NEW donors ever to come forward in our annual drive.  Our running total shows an AMAZING 311 different Geggie families that have participated over the past three years!  What a tremendous achievement for our entire school community!

We cannot thank YOU enough for your help and support with this amazing cause!  The American Red Cross extends their appreciation and commends the Geggie community for their outreach and “gift of life.”  One thing is certain, we can never underestimate the power of a GEGGIE TIGER!
