2020-2021 Semester 2 Event Update Teacher Assistant Idea: MCHS Teachers can submit a Google Form requesting assistance for tasks that students are able to assist/help with. Members that apply for this event will be assigned to a teacher and be forwarded task requests. Depending on the teacher and task, some may also work in groups. Ultimately, this event will be based on teacher needs.
Artists for Doctors Idea: In the Artists for Doctors Event, student volunteers will be asked to create small cards or notes with messages to thank doctors and other medical staff for their hard work throughout the pandemic. With this event, small cards or notes will be delivered to local/nearby hospitals to show our appreciation for their hard work.
2020-2021 Semester 2 Event Update: Hey Mayde Creek Key Clubbers, After careful consideration of our event ideas, the Teacher Assistant and Artists for Doctor events have both been changed to be Semester 2 events. Within this month, we will be finalizing our partnerships with Mayde Creek Elementary and a local retirement home facility to begin those two originally Semester 1 events. We will send out updates ASAP as soon as the details have been finalized! Thanks!

2020-2021 MCHS Key Club Shirt Update
2020-2021 Mayde Creek Key Club Shirt Hey Mayde Creek Key Clubbers, After careful consideration within our team, our shirt design has been finalized for this year! As shown above, our shirt is a beautiful light green color and includes a famous Gandhi quote on the importance of leadership and volunteering and its overall message. Designed by our very own MCHS Key Club President, Melinda Zhou, this shirt will be distributed later on to every member that pays the corresponding dues for the year. Soon, we will send out a shirt size confirmation out to all members that paid with their requested size. It is vital that everyone checks this list to ensure that they were properly included. Due to technology and problems on the side of Katy ISD's PayNGo system, there may have been slight discrepancies within the payment confirmations, so manual checks by each member is necessary. As a reminder, those that do not respond and are not on the list will not receieve a shirt or be considered a member for the year!
