Teachers, community members and students donated blood in the Fulton High School gym on Friday.

Students set up spacious waiting areas and provided plenty of snacks for donors. By Friday morning, some 130 people had signed up to give blood.

Fulton High School Student Council member Mattie Arnold prepares to give blood at an American Red Cross blood drive on Friday. "My grandpa needed blood," she said. "It means a lot when people donate so I'm happy to be able to do it myself."
