Service Spotlight Nicolette Reale, Half Hollow Hills West Key Club Division 3 In order to honor the upcoming Veteran’s Day, Key Club members created cards to give to heroes who have spent a portion of their lives serving our country. Students gathered in the Hills West cafeteria for a fun arts and crafts project where they would make cards to give to veterans. Members included short letters to the heroes thanking them for their service and expressing their gratitude for such bravery. Some people’s favorite part was creating a design where they could show off their art skills, while others favored the part where they could demonstrate their thankfulness through a heartfelt message. Key Club members saw this as an easy and fun way to give back to their community by connecting with someone who has fought for our country’s freedom. As many veterans are left lonely on a day that is meant to honor them, we wanted to show them that they are always appreciated.
