More than three dozen Escalon High School students turned out for a Friday blood drive, hosted through the American Red Cross and overseen by the high school’s Interact Club. Red Cross officials said a total of 24 good units were collected, with another 14 potential donors turned away for a variety of reasons. Those can include low iron, failing to meet weight requirements, etc. Senior Heidy Medina was among those students going through the process to donate a pint of blood.
