PHOTOS: Blood Drive at Rocky Point Middle School

Student help organize blood drive at middle school.

Rocky Point Middle School students may not be old enough to give blood, but they were able to help organize the recent blood drive held at the school.

Student government students and Community Service Club members recently helped organize a school blood drive with New York Blood Services, in order to do their part to help combat the shortage of blood donations across America.

During the event, the students assisted donors with filling out their paperwork and serving much-needed post-donation drinks and snacks. In this inaugural drive, 50 school and community members donated to the cause.

Spoken like a true teacher. Did you know that the average school teacher is only paying 15% of theRead More actual cost of health care premiums for themselves and their families, when Medical healthcare insurance premiums are rising at an alarming 17% per annum? Do you realize that teachers are paid an additional stipend if they work more than 3 consecutive periods in a day? Are you aware that teacher pensions were protected during the stock market crash of 2008, when the average person's 401K was totally at risk? Perhaps if teachers realized how good they have it - look at the BIG picture and outside of their bubble - then they would complain less. Oh and yes, we need our loftily-paid Administrators to kick in some of the salaries, to help pay for stuff. Hard to believe the school districts' mantras that "it's all for the kids".
