5 Things You Should Know Today - Dec. 8, 2011

Farmington, Harrison and North Farmington High Schools all have something happening on today's list:

1. The weather

We may well have snow again today. The National Weather Service predicts a 30 percent chance today and a 50 percent chance tonight. Look for a high of 36 and low of 26.

2.

Drop by the school, located on Shiawassee in Farmington, any time between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., if you can spare a pint of blood. The American Red Cross blood drive is sponsored by the school's medical students. The drive is being held in the instrumental music room.

3.
