Students and staff ignored the pain and faced their fear of needles to contribute to the donor blood bank last Friday. Registrar Shannon Brown organized Campion’s annual blood drive with the non-profit Vitalant and helped students 16-years and older sign up to donate.
Michael Shannon, senior, said “I was scared of needles because it was my first time, but the ladies made the experience really easy and enjoyable.” Sarah Molina, junior, said, “The blood collection was certainly a new experience for me. I had never donated blood before. The staff were super friendly and pleasant and walked me through the whole process in about 15 minutes. I'm glad overall that I was able to help someone.”

The Campion community filled the gymnasium to celebrate our annual fall festival hosted by HMS Richard’s Adventist school. Over 300 people came to enjoy the food and activities, supporting the fundraising efforts of each class.
A variety of activity booths entertained the visitors including; face painting, rock climbing, nerf gun wars and more. Each student took a turn to work at their class booth. “My favorite booth was the sophomore booth because all my friends were working there and a lot of people were there from different cultures and it was interesting to talk to them,” commented Isreal Ortiz, sophomore. A new addition this year was the Pie in the Face activity presented by the Junior class. Participants collected tickets in order to have a pie pan full of whipped cream smeared on another person’s face. Rodolfo Segawa, one of the people selected to be pied reflected “It was pretty fun and yummy getting pied in the face”. People filled up on different kinds of food and desserts offered by the classes. The two most popular booths were sophomores serving Mexican food and the seniors serving Indonesian food. Both classes sold out before the evening concluded. “My favorite part of the fall festival was the food, especially the Indonesian food,” reflected by Michael Fresse. As a fundraiser, the event was a success. Classes and clubs from HMS Richards and Campion raised money from their booth sales, with the senior class earning the most, raising $1600 for their class trip. By: Damaris Lopez-Morquecho |
