Portsmouth West High School's last blood drive of the year is May 11th in the high school gym.
Covid 19 antibody testing will be completed on all blood donations for the COVID- 19 antibodies. These results may provide valuable insights into the donor's potential past exposure to this coronavirus or an antibody response developed after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. Donors should know the name of the manufacturer of their vaccine.
Donors may schedule a time slot on the Red Cross site and to make their donations a smoother process complete the Rapid Pass information and bring their Rapid Pass with them.

Seniors and parents,
It’s that time! Graduation is around the corner, and I’d like to create a slideshow to run the hour before the ceremony starts. The slideshow will have the theme of “then and now,” and, thus, we will need a baby (birth to age 4ish) picture and a current picture. They can be either digital files (jpg, jpeg, png… no Google docs) or printed pictures or a combination of both. Send digital files to kristie.copley@westsenators.org and print photos to Mrs. Copley, PWHS librarian. Because it takes a considerable amount of time to scan and save that number of image files, all pictures must be submitted to Mrs. Copley by Friday, May 21.
Note: You may come back to pick up any print photos after May 28 or provide a self-addressed and stamped envelope for them to be returned by mail.
The home baseball game for tonight (4/21/21) has been cancelled.

West Senators,

Students may have one adult visitor to accompany them if they would like.
