In partnership with the American Red Cross, Baden Academy will be hosting a blood drive in the auditorium on Tuesday, March 3 from 1:30 to 7:00 PM.

The “Pint-Size Hero” program aims to educate elementary students on the importance of donating blood and gives them the opportunity to invite their favorite grown-ups to participate. Barb Kimbell, an American Red Cross representative, will be visiting the classrooms to explain the basics of the blood donation program on Friday, February 13.

Take this Valentine’s day as an opportunity at home to build a model of the circulatory system and examine online the artwork created with an electron microscope and red blood cells.
