Congratulations, Blood Donors!

Posted on by

Blood donors save lives!  Today at Chapel, we recognized the many staff and students who have donated during our school-sponsored blood drives in partnership with Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin.   This included 23 first-time donors (not pictured), 10 two-time donors, 6 three-time donors, and one person – Reed Rinta – who donated at every blood drive during his high school enrollment.  Thank you and congratulations!

The original play is about a dystopian society, set in a futuristic universe. The storyline focuses on June 8 (06/08), when each year, every person who is 17 years of age either lives or dies from an unseen force. This phenomenon, known as the Decision, plagues families and the world with its presence, as they try to carry on normal lives. The reason for the Decision is unknown.

The play was written by senior Isabella Matson.  She and junior Colton Hipke are co-directing the play. Hipke also heads the tech crew. Senior Megan Farrey is the assistant director and shares the stage manager role with sophomore Brooklyn Porter. Senior Gracie Friesema leads the set design and props, while senior Kaleb Miller oversees the acting and choreography. Junior Brooklyn Baratki is responsible for costumes and makeup. A host of students completes the cast and crew.
