Partnering with the American Red Cross

School leadership at Excel Academy Central recently partnered with the American Red Cross to host a community blood drive.

Ms. Kelly, student services director, and Mr. Trapani, site coordinator, organized the event. They saw the partnership as an opportunity to strengthen community relationships, promote student engagement, and support Act 158 career readiness requirements.

Excel Academy Central Blood Drive Results

“We’re thrilled to share that more than 22 students, staff, and community members donated blood,” said Jarrad Muller, executive director of Excel Academy Central. “Each donation helps save lives and support those in need.”

Excel Central staff is dedicated to creating meaningful opportunities for students to lead with purpose, serve with heart, and make a real difference.

“Events like this not only build stronger community ties but also showcase the incredible spirit and generosity of our Excel Central family,” said Muller.

Community Impact and Gratitude for the Red Cross Community Blood Drive Event

A huge thank-you to the American Red Cross team, student volunteers, and everyone who donated or supported the event. Together, we proved that small acts of kindness can make a big impact!
