On December 22, students from Stafford Technical Center’s Hospitality & Entrepreneurship, Health Careers, and Human Services Programs recently participated in a very important community service project; The Gift of Life Marathon at the Paramount Theater. These students and their instructors volunteered in a number of capacities from handing out snacks, keeping a watchful eye on the offspring of those parents donating blood, and some even giving blood for the cause. Playing even a small part in this very large event, is an important component of their lesson plan for life.
