Bartow, Florida - Hemlines too high, pants hanging too low: it's a problem some Polk County parents of high school students want to solve.

One suggestion surfacing at school advisory committees is uniforms for high school students. "They accept it after awhile," says parent Julie Hamilton.

Middle and elementary school kids did. In the late 90's Polk became the first public school district to have a uniform policy for middle and elementary schools.

January is the month of highest blood usage by patients in Tampa Bay.  In addition, there is a critical need for more minority donors on the National Marrow Donor Program's 'Be The Match' Registry. 

Therefore, 10 News has teamed up with Bealls to sponsor the 10 News Martin Luther King Day Blood & Marrow Donor Registry Drive, on Monday, January 16, 2012. 

Florida Blood Services bloodmobiles will be located, from 12 Noon until 6 p.m., at select Tampa Bay area Bealls stores and Blood Center Donation Centers.
