Just before Thanksgiving, as schools throughout the district were busy collecting donations for delivery to local food pantries, Smithtown High School West held its annual fall blood drive, coordinated by leadership students.
According to adviser Paul DeMatteo, this year’s drive was another record breaker, with 142 registered donors, in addition to faculty member donations. A total of 123 pints were collected and donated to New York Blood Center.
