3rd Annual Williams Middle School Community Blood Drive

I am so excited!  The 3rd Annual Williams Middle School Blood Drive is Tuesday, February 14th from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m inside the middle school gym.

Donating blood with LifeSouth Community Blood Centers serves our local community. Blood donated with LifeSouth stays in North Alabama; helping patients in our local hospitals. Approximately 1,000 people are needed each week for local patient care. Please join us on Tuesday, February 14th and make a lifesaving difference.
• All blood donors will be entered into a drawing for an iPad2.

• Each student that recruits at least two donors will receive a homework pass (donors that fill out the pledge card and donate blood).

All blood types are needed!  Join us and give the gift of life!

The Cinnamon Challenge

Please be aware that we had several 8th grade students participate in the Cinnamon Challenge at school.


The Cinnamon challenge is a competition (a game) in which a person attempts to eat or swallow a spoonful of ground cinnamon without drinking anything. While the challenge appears to be very simple and easy, it is actually very difficult because the cinnamon quickly dries out the mouth, making it very prohibitive to swallow.

Officer Lehman reported to me that this behavior can be dangerous and even deadly. If you know of any students who are doing this please let me know and thanks so much for help with this!
