MPA parent Dick Marnach visited the first grade last month to talk about the importance of donating blood. It was part of a curricular unit and service project the first grade has been working on, and Dick brings a special kind of experience to the conversation. He is both a pediatrician and a patient, whose own use of donated blood has saved his life. He speaks from experience. Dick was back this week talking to seniors in our anatomy class; it was an experience I doubt our students will ever forget. You can learn more about Dick by watching this clip from a recent KARE 11 story. And here’s a short video about how the first graders culminated their unit on the important of donating blood.
