LHS Blood Drive Draws More Than 150 Donors
The Lindbergh High School Human Anatomy and Physiology classes have sponsored one of the biggest single location blood drives in St. Louis for 10 years, and this year’s event was no exception. More than 150 donors attended the school’s Mercy Blood Drive on Oct. 13, and LHS students also collected stuffed animals for the Mercy Kids Transport Team. Mercy Kids uses the animals to comfort children who are transported to the hospital by ambulance.
Hats On! Kennerly Fundraiser Supports Local Heroes
In honor of Patriot Day, Kennerly Elementary School students celebrated first responders by wearing hats and bringing in donations for the Mehlville Fire Protection District. Students raised more than $450, which will be used to purchase smoke detectors for families who cannot afford them. Officer Kevin Reis with the Mehlville Fire Protection District said the donations will help fund approximately 100 smoke detectors.
Peanut Day Supports Kiwanis Builders Club Service
Builders Club members from Sperreng and Truman middle schools raised $300 in September during the club’s annual Peanut Day fundraiser. Students collected donations at Westlake Ace Hardware Sept. 23-24, with some help from volunteers from the Crestwood-Sunset Hills Kiwanis Club. The money raised supports Builders Club service projects throughout the year.
LHS Students Collect Hundreds of Shoes for Children
Children and adults in Teculatan, Guatemala, received 1,289 pairs of shoes this June thanks in part to the generosity of Lindbergh High School students.
Lindbergh High School class of 1981 graduate Diana Delia Thompson spearheaded the campaign last fall to collect tennis shoes for residents of "the Dump," an impoverished area in Teculatan where the people live with very few resources. Many residents do not have shoes at all.
After hearing about the campaign, students in LHS Spanish classes brought 471 pairs of shoes to help make Thompson’s effort a reality. Other schools and churches in the area pitched in as well.
