PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Hello, Key clubbers! :) Hope everyone is having a good month so far! Our monthly theme for June is pride. As this school year comes to an end, we have some exciting things planned. This month, we will be volunteering with the Canuck’s Autism Network to help out in their office and sports day. Technival is also just around the corner, so we hope to see you guys there. Don’t forget to come to this month’s meetings to learn how you can help out!

Enjoy the month! :) In Caring and Service, Emma Smith

All your points are tracked and added. By the end of August, the top member(s) will receive a prize! When the new school year begins, the leaderboard will refresh and another prize will be rewarded by the end of March!
