"We Support Abigail" HOSA/Carter Blood Drive
HOSA is so proud of our students, and the heart, love, and blood we poured out for the Klafta family! Congratulate your students and tell them their gift could possibly even be supplying our little Abigail, as the blood from our donations, supply Cook Children's Hospital. What a wonderful gift they gave for Christmas!
