Key Club Week By: Brandon Le
For Key Club week, Jenks Key Club did a multitude of activities to show their appreciation toward their members. My favorite thing we did was serve hot chocolate before school on a Wednesday morning. This activity not only showed our love for our club members, it also displayed our love for our entire student body. It took a lot of effort from many people to serve enough hot chocolate, and even then we still had a bit leftover. Serving hot chocolate to so many people took the collaborative efforts of many of my close friends: Ruthie Ashley, our amazing Editor; Hardi Patel, our fantastic President; Dominique Savage (who I call Dominique Truculent), our wonderful Vice President of Special Projects; Fawaaz Hameed, our somewhat scatter-brained webmaster; and more. Serving hot chocolate provided a lot of time for me to talk and grow closer to these people. I also got to talk to kids around the school that I had never met before and get to know more about the community at Jenks High School.
Another thing that our Key Club did was honor the Key Club board members during a Key Club board meeting. The officers prepared bags of candy to give to the board members as they walked in the door. I found this to be a big surprise, and I was personally very flattered by this gesture. This small deed reminded me of why I joined Key Club in the first place. Key Club is a wonderful group of people that always sets out to make our lives better. Even the smallest acts can put a smile on a student’s face, and for Key Club, no act is too big if it means making the community a better place. On the Monday of Key Club Week, our members sported their Key Club pride and wore the wonderfully-designed shirt of Key Club. In fact, that night I stopped by Yokozuna, and my waiter came up to me and said, “Got Service? That must be a school thing because I have seen so many people wear that shirt. I even have a coworker in the back wearing that shirt.” That day I could tell how amazingly large Key Club is and how prevalent and important it is to Jenks High School. Key Club to me is the best club in the school, and I am so lucky to be such a big part of it.
