PHS students helping the community

On Thursday final plans for two community support events were finalized at PHS. The first, a Blood Drive to support the American Red Cross sponsored by PHS Social Studies Teacher Laura Kruyer will take place on Friday, August 26 in the Multi-Purpose room at PHS. Students over the age of 16, who have prior parental consent, will be able to give blood to help support the Plymouth Community. Currently all available donation slots have been filled by the students of PHS. For more information on the American Red Cross and student blood drives please visit the American Red Cross Website. Please visit the blog on Friday, August 26 for updates on the Blood Drive.

The second event will take place on September 22 at 6:00 PM at the Kindt Soccer Complex. That night PHS will take on the LaVille Lancers in a Breast Cancer Awareness game. Students from the Operation Leadership Club, under the direction of Guidance Counselor Stacy Scheetz, are teaming up with Oliver Ford to raise money for The Nancy Jaynes Memorial Scholarship Fund that is given each year to a Plymouth student that does community service for Breast Cancer Awareness. During the week prior to the game, Operation Leadership students will be selling Breast Cancer Awareness merchandise, pink feather hair extensions, and tickets for the bake goods raffle to be held at the game. PHS Varsity players will be wearing Pink Jerseys donated by Oliver Ford during the game.
