Submitted by highlander1 on

Falls Career High School (FCHS) students will be offering another way to recognize Valentine’s Day. Okay, the day after Valentine’s Day.

The blood drive scheduled for Feb. 15 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. will be the last of the school year. The Bloodmobile from the Blood Center of Central Texas will be parked in the parking lot across from the Marble Falls Independent School District (MFISD) central offices on Colt Circle, behind Super Taco.

“Impress your Valentine and save a life,” said Mike Saenz, FCHS teacher. “You can keep the romance alive at least one day past Valentine’s Day by participating in this community service project.”

Students are making it easy to donate. Call Mike Saenz at 830-798-3626, or email him at msaenz@mfisd.txed.net, to make an appointment. Appointments are available every 15 minutes throughout the day.

Folks also simply can stop by and look for the multi-colored Bloodmobile. Blood donors must be 17 or older, weigh at least 115 lbs., and have eaten a full meal before donating. Participants will receive a free T-shirt, munchies, and the satisfaction of possibly saving a life.

For more information, pick up The Highlander, Friday, Feb. 12.
