🩸 Pine River Area High School Community Blood Drive at the Elementary School hosted by the PR NHS 📅 Wednesday, July 29th , 2026 ⏰ 1:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.   🎆 Celebrate July by Giving the Gift of Life! Summer is one of the most challenging times of year for maintaining a stable blood supply. Between vacations, holiday celebrations, and busy schedules, blood donations often decline while patient needs remain high.   ❤️ Just one donation can help save up to three lives.   🩸 Blood donated today helps ensure lifesaving transfusions are available tomorrow. Join us in making a difference and helping local patients receive the care they need.   🔗 Sign up to donate:https://donateblood.versiti.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/11641640   Versiti Blood Center of Michigan has partnered with the Detroit Lions to inspire Michigan high schools to host local blood drives this summer. In Michigan, 560 lifesaving blood donations are needed each day to meet the needs of Versiti’s 80 partner hospitals across the state. In the summer, donations drop nearly 20 percent – creating a massive need for community support. 16 year olds will need to have a signed parental consent form. Please consider helping out by donating and encouraging others to as well. This blood drive puts Pine River in the competition with only eleven other schools across the state for an extra $1000 grant! We can do this! It's like winning twice....once for helping save lives with blood donations and again by winning a grant for our school! 📣 PLEASE SHARE THIS POST to help spread the word! #DonateBlood #GiveBlood #BloodDrive #SaveLives #BeAHero #CommunityStrong #GiveBack #HelpOthers #BloodDonationMatters #Versiti #CommunityBloodDrive #JulyBloodDrive #SummerOfGiving #DonateLocal #ShareToSaveLives

The Luther Library will be hosting a Mobile Health Clinic on June 25 from Noon - 3 pm. See attached flyer.

Summer is the perfect time to turn pages together! Just 15 minutes of reading a day keeps your child's mind sharp, sparks their imagination, and creates beautiful memories you'll both cherish. Luther, LeRoy and Tustin all have a library for you and your children to enjoy! Stop in for some books and use the attached checklist for ideas on where to read together.
