One of the goals of the Oak Grove Peer Mediation Club is to reach out to the community and help those in need. There is a severe shortage of blood in our area, and 350 pints of blood are needed everyday. Unfortunately, only 2% of the population donates blood. The Peer Mediation Club decided that they would like to help alleviate the blood shortage. They did a great job hosting their first Blood Drive on Monday, November 19, 2007, from 3:30 to 9:00 p.m., in the Oak Grove Gymnasium. Our 5th grade peer mediators made our blood drive successful by escorting donors to the registration booth, to the canteen for juice and cookies, babysitting, and greeting at the main door. We greatly appreciate their assistance.
