Today’s teenagers are all about hanging out. Whether it’s by meeting up for coffee or going shopping, here lately, seniors from Watford City High School (W.C.H.S.) have been linking up to go give blood at the Watford City Civic Center.
“This year we had a record number of students earn it,” says Brooke Hestdalen, McKenzie County Public School District No. 1 communications coordinator.
After collaborating with the Vitalant Blood Drive several years ago, W.C.H.S. students have had the opportunity to earn a purple and yellow hero’s honor cord by donating blood or volunteering for the organization at least three times by the time they graduate, to wear with their cap and gown at graduation.
