So, yesterday our FCCLA chapter leaders went on a field trip to the CBCO (Community Blood Center of the Ozarks) Leadership Meeting for all high schools sponsoring a blood drive during the school year. There are three FCCLA leaders and two sponsors, and we sponsor two blood drives per year at WHS. The theme for the fall blood drive is Da'Stickable Me... get it? It's supposed to be like Despicable Me... :) The minions are adorable and we decided to try and get really creative with this blood drive to get more and more people to sign up. My idea was to make tons of the little minions and put one in each classroom without any explanation of why they were there. This would cause people to talk about them. We would also put a bunch in the hallways and in the commons, but these would probably have little signs talking about the blood drive and when it is. Hopefully people would connect the two and begin to talk about it more, which would hopefully get us to reach our sign-up goal! I'm really excited to begin doing this and to impact more lives. I love the position I am in because it allows me to have more of a voice and a say in what FCCLA does and how we do it. I'm also really excited for the leadership experience it is giving me because I know it can only help me later in life. :)
