Burnet High School’s Health Occupation Students of America say their upcoming blood drive has a greater significance than the ones they helped organize in the past.
This one is for Team Thiago.
Team Thiago was created for 3-year-old Thiago Paxtor, the son of a Burnet Consolidated Independent School District teacher. Thiago has leukemia.
The blood drive is 9 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Monday, May 13, at Burnet High School, 1000 The Green Mile.
HOSA teacher Sharon Massey was contacted by fellow teacher Laura Krienke about a possible blood drive to benefit Thiago. Krienke got the idea after reading a family blog on the boy and the importance of blood donations.
The class hosts a blood drive twice during the school year, bringing an average of 70 donors, said senior Samantha Robison. The students hope even more people will participate May 13.
