Blood Drive Thank Yous

Thank you to everyone who came out and donated blood at the Mt Vernon Blood Drive held at the high school yesterday.  You all came through for Hoosier patients.  THANK YOU!!  Time after time, we’ve seen loyal donors like you answer the call to save lives, and always we are humbled by and grateful for your generosity.

At the Mt. Vernon Blood Drive, we were able to collect 41 units of blood! That is 123 lives saved.

THANK YOU! You are all heroes!

If you didn’t get a chance to donate yesterday, you can still help us save lives this month! Donate this Saturday on our bloodmobile at Kammy’s Kause in Fortville!  See info below to sign up!

Back to School Immunizations

A reminder that the deadline for having all immunizations up to date is quickly approaching.  All students should have their required vaccinations completed and on file with the nurse's office by Sept. 1.

The nurses have been making regular contact with those families who have students that are still showing they need vaccines on file.

If students arrive to school on Friday, Sept. 2 and they still have outstanding required vaccines, they will be asked to come to the office and parents will be contacted to come pick them up.  However, the Hancock County Health Department will be offering a vaccine clinic that same day that will be set up at the administration center.

MV Reads - News from the Library

“When in doubt, go to the library.”
- Ron Weasley in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling 


Giving teens access to all varieties of literature and helping students develop a love and passion for reading is extremely important for their success. Not only is reading literature important in developing cognitive skills to be able to succeed in a school or work setting, but it is valuable for other reasons as well. Please enjoy this article written by The National Children’s Book and Literacy Alliance that answers the question: Why Do Kids Need Books?
