On Tuesday, September 23, SuccessTech Academy collected blood for the Red Cross. Many staff and students came to a makeshift clinic in the 5th floor gym to do their part. Senior Nada Richardson says she was "forced" to do the blood drive by our school's Student Government President Tailor Sloan, but added with a smile that she would have done it anyway. Nada said, "[Donating blood] didnt make me feel any different except when I was done my arm started feeling weak." At press time, Nada's arm was back to full strength and she reports being happy about helping out. Senior Nodja Crumedy said she participated on the administrative side of the blood drive, signing people in and handing out drinks and snacks, because "it helps people." She also gave blood herself, and says she looks forward to doing it again.
