Blood Drive
In years past, Mundelein High School has hosted blood drives to help keep the supply strong in our geographic area. The pandemic which hit last March changed everything but it has not changed the need for blood. Every few seconds someone in the United States needs a blood transfusion to help them survive surgery, trauma, recover from cancer treatments or a blood disorder.
Due to remote learning and social distancing, Mundelein High School will hold a Virtual Blood Drive to take place over a four-week time period from November 16 through December 13. Donors, who must be at least 16 years old, may include students, staff, family and friends.
“Tell your neighbors and friends to donate,” said Justin Hart, MHS Wellness Department Chair and coordinator of the event. “Wear school apparel and take selfies to post on social media,” he said.
Here are the details:
Donate blood at any Vitalant Donor Center (formerly LifeSource). The closest sites are in Gurnee and Lake Bluff. All locations may be found here: https://www.vitalant.org/Donate/Blood-Donation/Locations.aspx
All donors who provide the group code MN07 (or school name) during the screening process at the time of donation will receive a coupon for a FREE large one-topping pizza from Papa John’s and will give the school credit for the scholarship dollars.
Vitalant has responded to the pandemic with many safety measures including temperature checks, social distancing, continuous sanitation of donor-touched areas and the use of masks by donors and staff.
Signing up online is easy. Visit www.vitalant.org and click “Donate Now” on any page. First-time users should click “New Donor” and proceed to complete the registration
Mention Mundelein High School or the group code MN07.
“Every use of the group code helps MHS earn scholarship dollars through the Vitalant High School Scholarship Program,” Hart explained. “These funds help us with student scholarships here at the school.”

Rehearsals for the Virtual Cabaret have taken place online over several long weekends during this fall, culminating in the first of two performances on Saturday, November 28 at 7 pm. The second performance will be on January 9, 2021. Admission is free, and the performance link is posted on both the IHSTF and the ITA websites: www.illinoistheatrefest.org and www.illinoistheatre.org.
All-State Director Kevin Long (Harper College) said, “I have truly enjoyed working with these talented young artists from across the state of Illinois. As Hamlet says, ‘The time is out of joint.’ These young artists have not let anything stop them from creating meaningful theatre. Their energetic spirit and positive attitude have made this unique project very special. I am incredibly proud of them and I thank them for being kind, brave, safe and for being themselves. It’s been an honor.”
Now in its 46th consecutive year, the Illinois High School Theatre Festival (IHSTF) is the largest and oldest non-competitive high school theatre festival in the nation, and is produced by the Illinois Theatre Association. Over 4,500 students, teachers, university representatives, exhibitors, and volunteers come together to put on theatrical workshops and various high school productions.
