ANNOUNCEMENTS
BOOSTERTHON FUNDRAISER SURVEY....THE RESULTS ARE IN
Our Boosterthon Fundraiser Survey is complete, and we are excited to announce that the Restroom Renovation project received the most votes!  Many thanks to all of our Japonica students who participated in Boosterthon, and to those parents who voted on how best to use the proceeds.  The contractor is already busy preparing drawings and making suggestions for one set of restrooms on the Japonica Campus.  We will keep you updated on our progress!



"WILD" CAT SENDOFF!
Our Japonica Campus students gave our boys varsity basketball team an incredible sendoff for the South Regionals this morning!  We arranged for the team's bus to drive down Azalea Road where our students lined the school/church yard with signs, shakers and cheers!  The bus stopped at the start of the line-up, Coach Davis and the players got off and walked the length of the Pride Line getting hugs, high-fives and some serious love!  They will play tonight at 7:30 pm at the Dothan Civic Center.

The process is simple, just read the following information and complete the questions online, then print your RapidPass and bring it with you or show it on your mobile device. This must be done on the same day as your scheduled donation appointment. Visit www.redcrossblood.org/RapidPass


A few things you should know:
  • The process will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Please use the name listed on your donor card or legal name when logging in.
