Blood Drive a Huge Success
Morristown-Beard School’s 22nd annual blood drive was a huge success thanks to the hard work and generosity of faculty and staff, alumni, students, school parents, and area residents. The drive was held on October 28th, and was conducted by New Jersey Blood Services.
This year, the Morristown-Beard blood drive collected 92 units of whole blood and 15 double units of red cells for a total of 122 units. The blood drive was led by Morristown-Beard faculty coordinator Laurie Hartman and student coordinators Henry Kean ’10 and Annie Taggart ’10.
“I give enormous credit to Henry Kean and Annie Taggart,” said Ms. Hartman. “Without them in charge of the student captains – who were also wonderful – this drive would never have been as successful. I want to thank everyone who donated blood, donated baked good, and came down to cheer us on and lend support in so many ways. This year we had 34 different students bring in goodies!”
This year’s student captains for the event were: Evan Bakst ’10, Anna Balliet ’11, Dan DePoalo ’10, Ivanka Farrell ’10, Kyle Handler ’10, Caroline Hollander ’11, Sarona Isaac ’10, Matt Kleinberg ’11, Charlotte McAuley ’10, Katie Paine ’10, Maggie Ranger ’10, Kamy Shafaie ’10, Allie Silvershein ’11, Sam Stathis ’11, and Sam Wynn ’10
