“We’re a student lead national organization that focuses on the family,” said Kimberlea Embry, sponsor of the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) at the high school. The drive, which supported the American Red Cross, was held Tuesday in the BCHS gym. (pictured above Chelsea Deel (right) with Marsha Swopes

“It’s one of our community service projects. Hopefully, it will save someone’s life,” Embry added. By 10 A.M. students reported they had commitments from 65 students, faculty and staff.

Donors could choose either regular donations or the red cell machine. Age restrictions applied.
