Meet your... Meet your...

Hey, LVA Key Club!

My name is Jalen Rose Santillan and I am your 2023-2024 historian! I can’t wait for the term to start and whats in store for the year! Being historian is a big responsibility and I’m very excited to showcase our clubs spirit and community. My first year as a member of Key Club was very memorable because of the connections I’ve made and the comfortability I felt just being part of this community I doubted that high school would be fun or it would cheesy to join a club but that changed when I went to my very first meeting. I loved seeing everyone bring out a burst of energy and all the smiling faces. Key Club isn’t just a club it’s more than that, it’s a family. Putting people together that have the same goals and strive to make a better community is such a healthy way to bond. I will forever cherish the memories and have a special place in my heart for everyone in our club. I know I’ll grow in artistry/creativity as historian. I’m learning jobs/tasks a historian has and building skills that will be a great help in the future We’ll all continue to show growth and pursue a virtuous way to success

All in all, keep happy and remember to follow your heart as it will bring you the best outcome :D !
