The Marist community overflowed with life on Friday as over 70 students and faculty came together to give 60 pints of blood.

Students are required to be at least 16 years of age and not everyone was able to donate but the drive was successful overall. Seniors Margaret Quartararo, Amy Miller, and Courtney Volta worked closely with Lane Memorial Blood Bank to keep the process organized and running smoothly.

Many student’s nerves were on edge at the thought of giving blood but those who went through with it were pleased they could help save lives. “It was uncomfortable but I’m so glad I gave,” said senior Adri Cardani when asked about her first experience donating blood.

The semi-annual blood drive celebrates its tenth year this fall. English teacher Bill Ferrari put together the blood drive in response to the tragedy of 9/11. He has been in charge of coordinating the drive every fall and spring since.  
Marist has been presented with numerous awards from the Lane Memorial Blood Bank for the amount of blood donated each year.  According to Ferrari there have been years in which Marist contributed more blood than some small colleges.

_This afternoon, Marist High School received word that Kamerun Smith has been selected as this week's MaxPreps "Player of the Week" due to his outstanding efforts in the victory over Wilsonville last Friday.
