Saving lives

      The Big Foot High School National Honor Society sponsored an American Red Cross blood drive at Grace Church in Walworth on Nov. 20. The drive could potentially save 237 lives; 90 people came out to donate and after deferrals, 79 units were collected. “We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, staff and students,” NHS representatives said. Joey Schmitz, a junior at Big Foot, said when he was a child he had a burst appendix and appreciated the fact that many people gave blood so he could recover. He donates as a way to give back.
