Gillette College students host blood drive

The Programming Board, a student activities group at Gillette College, is hosting a blood drive on Monday, March 5 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. in the Technical Education Center.  This event is one of several at the college celebrating the 2012 Rodeo Week themed, “Tough Enough.”  The blood drive, known at the college as the “Are you tough enough to give blood” drive, is something the students feel strongly about.

“The students are passionate about this activity,” said Student Life Coordinator, Jess Bank.  “They are hoping to fill all the slots and offer a service to the community by hosting a blood drive.”

Donors can log on to www.bloodhero.com to schedule an appointment or contact Bank at 686-0254, ext. 2352, or jbank@sheridan.edu to make an appointment.  Walk-ins are also welcome.

SC Dental Hygiene department will host Kindergarten Day Thursday

Approximately 400 area kindergartners are expected to descend upon Sheridan College on Thursday, February 23 for the SC Dental Hygiene Department’s annual Kindergarten Day.

The Dental Hygiene department’s students and faculty members coordinate each year in February to commemorate National Children’s Dental Health Month, and invite the young students out for a day of activities and interaction. The theme this year is “Under the Sea.”

According to June Biss, a dental hygiene instructor, the goal of Kindergarten Day is to not only educate kindergartners about oral hygiene, but also to acquaint them with the dental office and equipment, making them more comfortable when they visit the dentist.

The kindergarteners will go home with a packet full of goodies in tow, including a toothbrush, toothpaste, stickers, and toys, all provided through donations from the community, local dentists, the Student American Dental Hygiene Association, Crest/Oral B and Colgate. Several local businesses also donate to the day.

For more information, contact the Dental Hygiene Department at 674-6446, ext. 3400.
