Student council hosts annual blood drive a great cause." StuCo brought in almost 30 donors and 8 of them were students. They were very pleased with these numbers and are currently thinking of ways to get them even higher. One of the things they plan to do in the future is advertise more in the community and start their advertising earlier. Having this blood drive shows what a supporting community the city of Conway has and the great effect of doing good to help others. "I try to show students how important it is to help others, especially in our area and community," Anna Vestal continued. "All the blood donated to CBCO goes to area hospitals so it truly is an example of neighbors helping neighbors." Stay up to date about coming up blood drives in your town and help out your neighbors.

Did you know that suicide is the second leading cause of death in people between the ages of 10 and 24? Or that every year 38,000 Americans commit suicide? To put that in other words, every 16 minutes someone, somewhere has made the choice to end their life. In our nation, over 5,400 suicide attempts are made by young people between seventh and twelfth grade each day. To raise awareness of suicide and let students in the school who may be dealing with suicidal thoughts know they are not alone, the Conway High School brought in a guest speaker on their most recent early out day. Jeff Morris came to the school on March 6 to talk about Finding Hope, which is a suicide prevention program. Jeff Morris was a high school educator for almost 20 years. Jeff is also a six-time suicide survivor. From 1997-2009 Jeff was hospitalized numerous times for being suicidal; this led to him leaving his career due to health concerns.
"I don't really feel that sharing my story is that important. That is why I don't talk about myself that much during my presentation. My story does not really help people. What I want to do is teach people how to help someone they think is suicidal," said Jeff. "I hope that what I do helps people get the help they need early in life. I did not get the help I needed till my early 30s. I hope others get help much sooner. "There are four warning signs to look for if you think someone may be suicidal; verbal, what a person says, emotional, do they act or look suicidal, behavioral, changes in behavior, (are they giving things away, cutting, not sleeping, etc.), situational, has something happened that is traumatic like loss of a loved one? The best thing to do if you think someone is feeling suicidal is show them that they are not alone and there are people and places that can help them out. The suicide prevention hotline is 1-800-273-8255, and it is always open for calls. Always remember suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
