Dr. Seuss' Birthday

This is a picture of the Cambria Elementary staff which was taken on March 2 in honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday. All staff wore “Cat In The Hat” Hats and students participated in Bingo for books.

Blood Drive

Every two seconds someone in the United States needs a blood transfusion with the demand for blood increasing over holidays. To assist with the demands of the Memorial Day holiday weekend, the Cambria Elementary school will be sponsoring a blood drive.

Cambria Elementary students will be soliciting family members and friends to donate blood. The School’s blood drive will be held on May 10 from 2:00 to 7:00 in the Cambria Elementary gymnasium. Anyone who is interested in donating blood or volunteering may sign up with any elementary student after April 21st.

CCMS Students Are "Pint Size Heroes"

Every two seconds, someone somewhere needs a blood transfusion, and with the harsh winter weather that we have been experiencing this year, the Red Cross' blood supply is extremely low. Adults have around ten pints of blood in their bodies and one pint is given during a donation. This single pint of blood can save up to three lives. To help meet this need, the Red Cross holds more than 200,000 blood drives every year, and at Central Cambria Middle School we tried our best to do our part by holding our own Pint Size Heroes Blood Drive on Tuesday, February 22 from 2:30 to 6:30 P.M. in the cafeteria.  Since CCMS students are too young to be able to donate blood themselves, their job was to recruit adult donors to help meet the need. Students were asked to talk to parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, neighbors, and anyone over the age of 16 who were willing to help us out. As always, our amazing students rose to the occasion. With their help and the help of community members we were able to donate 42 pints of blood to the Red Cross in only four short hours!  This year's Blood Drive was our most successful one yet and special thanks go out to the Red Cross staff, students, donors, and everyone who helped to make Pint Size Heroes a success.
