Labyrinth Society plans events for annual gathering in New Harmony
The MSD of North Posey received an award from Riley Children's Foundation. This is the second year the MSD of North Posey has been honored with the title of “Miracle Corporation.” The district was given the award because each of the district’s schools (North Posey High School, North Posey Junior High School, South Terrace Elementary, and North Elementary), exceeded their goal to raise at least $1 per enrolled student to benefit Riley Hospital for Children during the 2009-2010 school year. Pictured are: (FR) Kelly Carlton, Principal South Terrace, and Ben Cohen, Riley Representative.

MVJH sponsors blood drive Mount Vernon Junior High School is a co-sponsor with the Posey County American Red Cross for an upcoming Community Blood Drive scheduled for Friday, November 26. Students will be receiving packets this Friday during Homebase, and the packet includes a letter and a donor card. We will also have a short Studio 92 presentation by a representative from the River Valley Blood Region office to introduce the entire process. The donor card will need to be returned to the Homebase teacher by November 22. A Red Cross book bag will be available for each student who gets a potential donor to the blood drive – the adult must show up to donate. . Even though our students are too young to give blood, they can become involved by talking about and sharing the important message and need to their parents, older siblings, neighbors and relatives. By donating blood, a person could be helping to save the lives of others.
