On March 12, members of Whitesboro High School’s chapter of the National Honor Society gathered in the District's Board of Education conference room to assemble 200 Stop the Bleed kits.

Stop the Bleed kits contain the necessary items to control serious bleeding and prevent further blood loss for a victim suffering a traumatic injury. The included instructions prioritize which injuries to treat with the appropriate components, including how to treat with a tourniquet and direct pressure using gauze. Each kit contains:

  • American Red Cross Soft Case Pouch
  • American Red Cross Tactical Medical, SOF Tourniquet
  • SWAT-T Tourniquet
  • Krinkle Gauze
  • Sponge Gauze 2-pack
  • Trauma Shears
  • Two Pairs of Nitrile Gloves

The assembled kits will be dispersed to classrooms throughout the District.

This project aligns with the National Honor Society pillar of Service. Service represents the choice of stepping outside oneself to meet the needs of others, fueled by an unwavering passion for a cause, heartfelt empathy for others, or driven by personal circumstances. It’s about performing selfless acts that transcend the ordinary, engendering transformative changes that resonate throughout schools, ripple across communities, and reverberate on a global scale. In the noble act of service, students sculpt a better world with their hands, hearts and humanity.

Thank you to the National Honor Society Members and advisor Mr. Ryan for taking on this project that has the potential to save lives!
