Blood Drive - Tuesday, October 22 from 9-2:30
We will host a blood drive in partnership with the San Diego Blood Bank on Tuesday, October 22 from 9:00 am - 2:30 pm. All blood types are greatly needed! With less than a one-day supply of most types, we are asking you to SCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT HERE. Students, families and community members are welcome to donate. You must be 17, click here for more requirements. Helix seniors can get a red cord for graduation if they donate or if someone dedicates their donation to them. Everyone who donates blood will get one free ticket to SeaWorld San Diego's Howl-O-Scream Plus, a limited-edition pair of Halloween socks. Parking is available at 4200 Lowell St. and the Blood Mobiles will be parked by our gym.
Join the Helix PTSA!
We hope all families will consider joining the Helix PTSA, click here to join. There is no commitment involved, it is just an annual, one-time donation of $13. The funds raised through PTSA memberships go directly back to the school and students, for scholarships, teacher supplies and needs, special programs and anything the students may need! If you want to make more of a commitment, consider joining the PTSA board! This means attending one meeting per month (if you're available) and being on an email distribution that shares information about upcoming volunteer opportunities. The meetings are typically held on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 5:30pm at the school or via Zoom. And if you just want to be informed about upcoming events and school news, follow us on social media at Facebook and Instagram.
