Paper Crane Making
NC, D37E
This event was held at the same time as our campus cleanup on August 29th, but took place before members had gone outside to pick up trash. We provided two papers for everyone to make two paper cranes, and informed them to put an inspiring, and kind message on the crane. We are going to send these paper cranes to a cancer society or a psych ward. For this event, our school allowed us to use our media center/library that had many seats for people to use. It was a lot of fun for the members, as they were able to kick off the school year by bonding through a community service project with their friends. Our members and officers present had earned 30 minutes of community service per paper crane.
D13S Boba Bee Fundraiser
OC, Rancho Dominguez, D13S
Rancho Dominguez Key Club attended the September DCM and the D13S Boba Bee Fundraiser on September 7th! My club and I had quite a few members and board members attend to gain more knowledge on the goals, events, and plans for the purpose of trying to prepare for club rush and enhance the growth of our club. Our club and the rest of the group played games and ice breakers throughout the DCM; like Mingle from Squid Games. To serve our community at SERVETEMBER, we also held a small clean up at Heartwell Park. After that, we supported our fundraiser by getting some boba from Boba Bee, which was conveniently close to Heartwell Park after our DCM. Through this fundraiser, Division 13 South would receive 15% of profits, which would all be forwarded to the Pediatric Trauma Program. This event was both an informational and fun event for our club’s newer members to get a taste of what Key Club is like!
John Glenn Club Rush
AD, John Glenn, D13N
On August 27, our school had our Club Rush event. Key Club got a table for themselves and was able to make a poster board prior to explaining to new students who showed interest in what Key Club is. The Club Rush ended successfully as we got up to about 34 sign ups this year. During the events we explain and introduce to other students about what is the point of Key Club and how the club can bring you benefits and how the club is helping our community into a better place. We also have flyers and give out sweet treats to those who signed up. Over all it was great to see many students showed their interest in Key Club and like to join the club.
SV Pride Parade
KGN, Bellarmine, D12W
This month our club was able to break all time Bellarmine Key Club records by hitting 60+ hours served. Moreover, we were able to serve this much thanks to the handy Division newsletter that put us in touch with the San Jose Pride Celebration Organization that gave numerous opportunities for helping set up, run, and close pride booths. Our members of course had a lot of fun and meaningful experience serving the local LGBTQ community. Jasper Shih ‘26 was especially a help to the club in setting this event up as he pushed our leadership to provide him the necessary hours before a lazy second semester. Whatever the motive was, we all benefited through this meaningful service experience!
Magical Bridge Cleanup
KH, Sequoia, D34C
Magical Bridge is a monthly event that Sequoia Key Club goes to help pull weeds and generally clean up Magical Bridge Playground’s garden. It was a super hot day but we were able to get a lot done! I pulled out weeds and dead areas of shrubs so that they can grow back as a new and improved plant. All of the waste was thrown on to a tarp so at the very end, four people collectively carried the tarp and threw away all of the waste. I felt very accomplished and productive after making a lot of progress. I will definitely be going next month! Kylie Ho, Sequoia High School
