About:

Rolling up their sleeves for a worthy cause, students and students athletes at Lynbrook’s Marion Street School joined forces with Long Island Blood Services to sponsor their annual Little Doctors Blood Drive. The Little Doctors program, sponsored by New York Blood Services, helps teach elementary school students the importance of donating blood.

This event came just weeks after the launch of the school’s theme for the year, “Make your mark, make it matter” turning inspiring words into meaningful actions. Dressed in scrubs, student volunteers greeted their donors and supplied them with snacks and drinks to replenish them after giving blood. Students also gave each donor a handmade thank you card.

The blood drive came together through the collaborative efforts of the student council and the fifth-grade class. Students worked under the guidance of the school’s blood drive coordinator Victoria Schiller and student council advisers Coleen Maher and MaryKate Emmerich. This year, 32 pints of life-saving blood were collected at the blood drive.
