On Wednesday, April 5th, over 72 students and staff opened their hearts and rolled up their sleeves to donate blood during the American Red Cross Blood Drive held in the gym at CHS. Mr. Hershberger’s government students promoted and recruited donors over the last several weeks. Government students also volunteered during the blood drive.
In celebration of Spirit Week at CHS, the theme of the day was Be a Hero and donate blood. We have tons of super heroes at LCPS. Over 85% were first-time donors. Thank you to everyone who signed up to be a donor for this worthwhile event. Currently, plans are in the works to have another blood drive in the Fall.

The CHS Teachers for Tomorrow students visited Longwood University on March 22. Students attended a presentation in the Admissions office and toured the campus with a Longwood Ambassador that included the Rotunda, the new Upchurch Student Center, and an exclusive tour of the Andy Taylor Early Childhood Development Center. The director of the center talked about internship opportunities available for students while in high school and college.
Students ended their visit with lunch in the campus dining hall. Another highlight of the trip was the students were able to meet and take a picture with President Reveley.
Many thanks to Rosa Townsend, Longwood University Transfer Navigator, Early Childhood Education, the Admissions Office, and Emily Davidson, Site Director for the Andy Taylor Center for Early Childhood Development for a special trip. Longwood also provided transportation and lunch for the students.
