American Red Cross Scholarships
High Schools that host blood drives are awarded points for each unit donated. The points accumulate over the year. At the end of the year, the American Red Cross donates scholarships to our school. Administrators may award scholarships to a student who demonstrates leadership and volunteerism as well as need. Scholarships in the amount of $250 are awarded depending on the total number of blood drives per academic year and the total units donated.

Jack Schnieders Obituary
https://www.campbell-lewis.com/obituary/jack-schnieders
The Blair Oaks R-II School District would not be what it is now without the vision and the commitment of our early school district pioneers. Jack Schnieders was definitely one of those pioneers. In the spring of 1966, Jack Schnieders accepted the position of Superintendent of Schools of the newly formed Blair Oaks School District. During his 10 years at the helm of Blair Oaks School District he oversaw the construction of the new elementary school and the start of the football program.
Please keep Shirley and the Schnieders Family in your thoughts and prayers!
