The GCSC fundraiser helped raise $1,624 for the American Heart Association.

February is known as Heart Health month and to raise awareness, GHS hosted a blood drive in early February with help from the NHS, where more than 40 units of blood were donated. To raise awareness for heart health, T-shirts were sold to corporation staff and students and were worn on National Wear Red Day Feb. 3. The shirts incorporated this year’s American Heart Association slogan: “One life, One heart, No excuses!”
