President's Message

2022-2023 ECTA Key Club President

Isaac Briones | 10th Grade

For those who don’t know me my name is Isaac Briones, serving as East Tech Key Club’s president for the 2022-2023 term. Through this past term serving as a Sergeant-at-Arms, I’ve accomplished so much within Key Club and received the opportunity to work with such an incredible board and president! As the term is ending I’m looking forward to what not only the board can accomplish but our whole club and the members in it. As it is my responsibility and duty to lead the club I also plan to inspire and motivate others along the way. As we had many seniors on our board this year it’ll be heartbreaking to see them leave, as each and every one of them has inspired me to go beyond my limits! With this being said I plan to carry the spirit and enthusiasm they had given us this year towards Key Club and move forward with much more in this next term. As your next president, I want to ensure our club has another amazing term ahead of us, along with accomplishing the goals we set for ourselves. One way I plan to do this is by working diligently and closely with the 2022-2023 board that way we give current and new members the best experience they can ever have. I’m so grateful I was given this opportunity and I’m beyond excited to see current and new members serving with spirit and passion next year!

2022-2023 ECTA Key Club Bulletin Editor

Charine Lomibao | 11th Grade

As sad I am to see our senior board go, I am as excited to see how the new term will build new relationships among the new board and our members. I am so beyond proud of what the 2021-202 board has accomplished, especially as it was return of a some-what normal school year. They did an amazing job at making sure Key Club remains the best international club out there! As for our new board, I am so so excited to see what is ahead of us. We’ve known each other for a while, but this term will only make our bond stronger. As your new ECTA Key Club Bulletin Editor, I’ll make sure to put ECTA Key Club on the map!

Also shoutout to Rozeth for helping me make this month’s A&V and newsletter, thank you so much <3

2021-2022 ECTA Key Club President

2021-2022 ECTA Key Club Vice President of Membership

Christina Nguyen | 12th Grade

Marijoh Josafat | 12th Grade

Thank you for inspiring me, creating fun memories with me, as well as pushing me to be the best that I can be. I know that I have not praised you all enough, but trust me, you guys are one of the most hard-working groups of people that I have met. Yes, there have been ups and downs, however, we went over those obstacles and tackled them. I would even say that this team is something our club has never seen before and I hope our club continues to see many executive boards like ours. Thank you for showing this club how a strong connection can be made within the board! I am so lucky to have been given the chance to work with you all! Also, shoutout to Ms. Trinidad for allowing this year to happen. I enjoyed working alongside with you and I hope you carry our passion onto the future years as advisor! I would also like to thank my members because they have given me the honor to represent the club in the first place! Each and every one of you has worked hard all year long and I am proud of you all! Without you, we would not have secured the D28N Spirit Stick! However, I do have regrets on how I handled this term, however, I hope you all still had an amazing, fun year! After seeing all the hard work that the whole club has put into this term, I feel comfortable leaving this club in the hands of the future generations. It has been a wonderful four years with a great community! Although I am retiring as a Key Club officer, I will surely take what I have learned from this club and apply it to the future ahead of me as I finally head into the adult world! I still have a lot more to say, however, let's save the sappy messages for the goodbye speeches at the banquet. I appreciate all of you and I hope to see you all there!

Saying goodbye is never easy. I have been in Key Club for 4 years and it is safe to say that it has absolutely changed my life.

I would never have become the person I have become without this amazing club. It has allowed to grow into an outgoing person and it has allowed me to help the community while also forming lifelong connections. I have never seen a club with a bond like Key Clubs. It is sad to say goodbye but I will be starting a new chapter of my life, as will the members and board who will continue their Key Club journey. My wish for those who remain is to make the most of it. Key Club can become as meaningful to them as it has to me. I will always wish the best for the club that has changed my life. And with that, it has been my greatest honor to serve as your 2021-2022 Vice President of Membership.

Old Board Farewells..

2021-2022 ECTA Key Club Vice President of Service

Audrey Miranda | 12th Grade It still hasn’t hit that I’ll be graduating soon. I was scrolling through pictures of me in Key Club as a freshman and now.

If freshman-year-me could see me as the person I am today, I know that they would be proud. Mostly because I’m leaving behind nothing but some of the best memories I’ve ever made in high school. It seemed like yesterday when I became our designated flag person during RTC (thanks to Christina).

I remember how three fourths of the club got sick, and me throwing myself into the mosh pit during RTC as a sophomore, drowning in nothing but pure bliss (…and sweat).

I never truly took in how far I’ve came. I never believed in the saying how high school goes by fast until now. Before I burst into tears, I just want to let the new board and our members know that I’m truly honored to have served as your Vice President of Service. To those who stuck with us, you have a bright future. I know that you guys will do incredible things down the road. I will forever be grateful for everything this club has done for me and for others.

Remember that caring is our way of life!

2021-2022 ECTA Key Club Secretary

Rolando Ibarra | 12th Grade

Looking back at this year, i can definitely say i am proud of what i have accomplished so far. Being able to gain the opportunity to become key club’s secretary for this term is something that my sophomore self wouldn’t believe at all. Walking into the banquet hall into my first key club meeting, there was this feeling that I would be a part of the club for the long run.

Key Club introduced me to so many people who I consider friends, and has also taught me lessons that I will forever grasp with me into whatever the future holds. To my members that I was proudly to serve, always remember to take care of yourselves and thank you guys so much for attending our meetings and being the best of the best. All of you have the greatest potential and don’t forget that. Learn to stay true to yourself and don’t let anyone tell you what you can’t or can’t do.

2021-2022 ECTA Key Club Treasurer

Chelsea Ulat | 12th Grade The term of our 2022 Key Club is rapidly coming to a sentimental ending. But with this sweet ending comes a new beginning and I’m so proud to pass down our Key Club to our new board members.

Looking back on the past three years as a member, SAA, and treasurer, it makes me feel emotional to leave it all behind. I want to thank all my fellow board members for making this year magical and I want to give a special shout-out to Christina Nguyen, our president! She has been so incredible this year and she made this club alive! I don’t know what we would’ve done without her! I also want to give a special thanks to Ms. Trinidad!

Thank you for supporting my growth and mentoring me. I appreciate her trusting me with added responsibility. It means a lot. I also want to give a heartwarming thank you to all my members for showing our sprit and representing D28N phoenixes!

I dream of the long life of Key Club at ECTA and hope pass down the legacy! I feel It has been such an honor to be among such spirited individuals and to be able to make so many memories during my last year of high school. It’s been a huge pleasure being with all of you this year! Thank you!

2021-2022 ECTA Key Club Webmaster

Gael Javier | 12th Grade As hectic as the school year has been, I wouldn’t change it for a thing. As limited as we were, the people involved in key club made sure that the memories were still made. It really was a make it your own experience, and they helped immensely. I just know they’ll be able to provide the same for the terms to come, as well as nurture that same environment, so that they receive people like them as well. It was an honor, and a privilege, to serve Key Club this 20212022 term, and it saddens me that thsi is its conclusion. Now it’s up to them to care it on, and I’m sure they’ll do an amazing job :)

Former Bulletin Editor Farewell..

2021-2022 ECTA Key Club Bulletin Editor

Rozeth Galacgac | 11th Grade

Now that my term is over, I have nothing but the unforgettable memories we made as a club. I still reminisce about the smallest moments we had. I honestly feel very lucky to have one more year remaining to serve as a board member for the club, but I’m saddened to see my senior board go. However, I truly can’t wait to see them achieve greater things in the next chapter of their lives! To my elected board, I can’t wait to continue the legacy of Key Club with you all and serve our nation and the world! To my Key Clubbers who’ve stayed with us through thick and thin, I hope you continue to stick with us in making our club the best it can be!

rld SAA

I asked the new term SAA applicants “What made you decide to run for the SAA position here at ECTA?“

I decided to run for the SAA position because I have seen the board members and SAAs demonstrate great leadership skills and service to the community.

Seeing them has inspired me to take on that responsibility and become as involved in Key Club as they are. I have also seen all the fun they've had and the relationships they've built. Lastly, I want to develop myself as a person, and I think becoming an SAA would help me achieve that goal!

Marianne Ocampo | 10th Grade I decided to run for SAA because although I am new to club and all, I find Key Club as something I am really passionate about. I would like to learn more about the club itself as well as the other major positions in order to run for these upcoming years. I would also like to find different ways I can assist this club as much as possible. This is because Id like to help gain future members and help in major events such as Fall Rally, RTC or even the general meetings!

Alexis Pamintuan | 10th Grade A closing statement from a 2021-2022 SAA As the 2021-2022 school year comes to an end, I just want to say how grateful I am that I had the opportunity to be a part of Key Club as an SAA. I have made a lot of great memories with some amazing Key Club members and some new friendships as well. My experience as an SAA has led me to seek other opportunities to be more involved in other clubs/organizations. I thank all the board members for being such great role models and making this club a comfortable environment to be in. Although I will not be a part of the board or an SAA for next year, I will still be a supporting member of Key Club. Thank you Key Club!
