The Sugar Land City Council is honoring 22 students in Kempner High School's Health Science Technology class next Tuesday (4/6/2010) at 5:30 p.m. at the City of Sugar Land City Council Meeting. The instructor is Dr. Jeff Ricken. They have won President Obama's White House Silver Eagle citation for harvesting a record number of units of blood (319) in the fall 2009.  Many of the units were transferred to the servicemen and women who were injured by gunfire at Fort Hood, and the remainder were kept at St. Luke's Hospital, functioning to save lives. The students designed a blood campaign that was a county record for one day. The parents of all 22 students will be in attendance along with several Fort Bend County commissioners and district personnel.
