VINA NGUYEN PRESIDENT 4

Hey Sunshines!

E

ight months ago, I was officially installed into my new position as president for the 2018-19 term. During the beginning of this term, easing into my new position wasn’t the easiest task; however, I allowed time, new experiences, and my peers to help lead me. Time has flew by and now, there are only 4

months left in this term (as we end in the beginning of April). It is crazy to see how fast time went by but with the remaining few months, my biggest advice to all my fellow officers, especially Key Club seniors, is to make this year YOUR year-- to seize all of the opportunities Key Club provides and live the last four months to the fullest.

To my seniors, with college application season done or almost complete, it’s time to destress at the many Key Club social events, such as the upcoming D30S ice-skating social in January. In addition, if you are interested in receiving the graduation stole or medal, it’s time to get back on that volunteer grind! All you have to do is serve 100 hours for the stole and serve 200 hours for the graduation medal (this is accumulated 9

-12th grade). To my fellow officers, you will have opportunities to gain greater leadership positions. I strongly recommend you all to try them, whether or not you have the fear to take on a larger role with more responsibilities, deliver a speech to a huge crowd, or participate in the caucus session after the speech. With the release of executive applications for the 2019-2020 term, I am incredibly excited to see all the future leaders on executive election day in January! Lastly, whether you win or not on election day doesn’t determine the path you take. There are plenty of leadership opportunities in Key Club, including appointed board, Division Leadership Team, and District Board. Best of luck to all applicants!

A final word for this month’s release: have a restful, well-deserved Winter Break sunshines!

Sun-cerely, Vina

GRACE NGUYEN BULLETIN EDITOR 6

Hey Key-Clubbers!

M

erry Christmas and Happy Early New Year, Suns! It’s such a relief that winter break is finally here. I hope everyone has finally been able to relax after finals and

celebrate with their friends and family. I for sure had fun during my first week of break! I was able to hang out with my friends, my relatives and my Key Club family!

Anyway since there isn’t many events known during this time, I’ll make my announcement as short as possible: •

The Rose Parade is on Saturday December 29th. Signups are closed. Attendees please make sure to report to Savanna at 5:30 am or else the bus will leave without you. Lunch will be provided. Please remember to read the email sent out on the 26th and fill out any necessary forms.

•

If you or any of your friends wanted to join Key Club and wasn’t able to, don’t worry!

Club Refresh will be on January 16th to 18th. Be sure to come by and check us out.

•

Servathon will be on Monday, January 21st from 9am to 11am at Oxford Academy.

Volunteers will help make PB and J's sandwiches to donate to local homeless shelters.

•

The 2019 Election for Secretary and Treasurer is on Wednesday, January 23rd 2019. Electron for President and Vice President will be on Wednesday January 30th 2019. Both elections will take place during lunch. Be sure to come out and vote!

•

TRACY VU| VICE PRESIDENT OF SPECIAL PROJECTS all Rally South is not only a social event but also a fundraising event that raises money for PTP. Our admissions fees all go to the organization. Even though you feel like you’re not really giving back, everyone there actually helped towards the cause.

I’ve been going to Fall Rally South for 3 years now and this was my last year attending. I honestly wished that I went during my freshman year, but I was too timid.

I think FRS is a great way to meet and bond with members from other schools, divisions and regions. I even met a Key Clubber from Nevada and we keep in contact till this day.

At FRS the most important part is the Rally Session. There are about 12 divisions in the

amphitheater where we can auction off LTGs and have a spirit battle. At the auction, all the funds that the division raises are used to “buy” the LTGs for the day but don’t forget that all the money goes to PTP! The one that most members look forward to is the spirit session, where all divisions battle against each other to win the spirit stick. For the last 2 years D30S has made it to the top 3 but this year we got first! It was the best feeling ever and it motivated many Key Clubbers from our division during the spirit battles outside the session. It was the first time in 4 years since we won the last spirit stick.

After the rally, members are free to go wherever in the park such as rides or getting some funnel cake. Many of us just walk around giving free hugs, taking pictures and initiating spirit battles. Our group won all the spirit battles that were initiated against us and it just made us proud that we accomplished this goal that we had in forever.

This year’s Fall Rally South was truly the best way to end it my last Fall Rally.

I really

hope that more future members will attend this even because it really is where a lot of “key club” moments happen.

BRITTNEY LE | TREASURER all Rally South. The most anticipated Key Club event of the entire term. An event that gathers Key Clubbers from California, Nevada, and Hawaii. An event that is full of spirit and fun and a lot of colors.

After four years of being in Key Club, I finally went to Fall Rally South this year.

It being my first and last Fall Rally, I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but I knew that I’d have a lot of fun, whether it be meeting the other people, being spirited at the rally, or going on all of the roller coasters.

November 10, 2018. The days of Division 30 South Key Clubbers started prompt at 5 AM, as we were set to meet at the bus at 5:30 AM. My day started cold, and the hoodie I wore did nothing to give my warmth.

Despite how chilly it was, that didn’t stop me from having fun! As soon as we arrived at Six Flags Magic Mountain, we waited for about another hour of solely waiting for the park to open and to cross security. After finally crossing over into roller coaster heaven, we started our journey and made our way to Twisted Colossus and Goliath, a beautifully exciting way to start our morning. Afterwards, we had lunch and made our way towards the next event: the spirit rally.

At our spirit session, we were up against massive groups of other divisions from our region. Thinking of last year and how close we came to the spirit stick, we did everything in our power to take the victory this year. And that we did. After days of practicing our cheers, we made each other proud. We all put in our best efforts, with the cheers memorized, and shouted to our heart’s content. Despite any hiccups, like when we accidentally cheered when Division 30 North wasn’t finished, our efforts proved worthy. Our beautiful cheers, loud screams, and big spirit paid off. We had finally won the spirit stick, after so many years.

Even though I didn’t get to ride as many roller coasters as I had liked or paid for, I still had more fun than I’d ever have imagined. November 10th will always hold a special place in my heart, as it was the day we snatched that spirit stick and showed everyone what we’re made of. Being a senior, I couldn’t be prouder of our division and what we

Even though this is my last year in Key Club, it won’t be my last at Six Flags! accomplished this term.

FALL RALLY SOUTH (CONT.)

F

VINA NGUYEN | PRESIDENT all Rally snuck up behind me and I was surprised as to how quick this big day arrived. This year would be my second and last FRS.

4:30am in the morning, I was up and ready to go to Savanna. Right when the us dropped us off at Six Flags, I could see all the colors and mascots of the various divisions—from red, white, blue to ninjas, clouds, and rhinos. I was sleepy and tired in the morning, but this colorful sight excited me and brightened my morning right away.

It was sure a memorable and incredible experience. Through all the blood, sweat, and tears of coordinating and practicing the cheers together, Division 30 South proudly won the Spirit Stick in our session this year. Each time it was our division’s turn to chant, all the bright yellow pom poms would spring up and be rapidly shaken in the air. All the Spirit Sticks would be lifted high in the air as people excitingly chanted.

When 4:30PM hit and darkness started to fall, all the beautifully made Spirit Sticks lit up.

Animals of all shapes and colors came together and we all do Spirit Battles one last time.

As we walk out to our bus to leave Six Flags, we all proudly chant one last time. Whether it be the carefree, spirited atmosphere I get surrounded with or the exciting Spirit Battles I participated in, there will be many things about FRS that I will be reminiscent about.

One thing I knew for sure was that I did not want the night to end.

B

TIMMY BUI | HISTORIAN efore I learned all of our division cheers in all those spirit nights in preparation for fall rally south, I wasn’t really sure how to express out my love for Key Club. I already knew the “How do you feel” one and division remix, but little did I know that I was still on the surface of Key Club clout. I

mean, I have had loads of merch and pins, but I didn’t have the cheers tot back my spirit up. On the first spirit night, I only learned three or four from the other Key Clubbers in my spirit group, but it was the first step to a wonderful world of lyrical geniuses. Each week, I just kept learning more and more to add to my arsenal. By fall rally south day, I was flexing on my friends and shouting those cheers at the top of my lungs every time. It’s actually increased my spirit and openness in Key Club meetings and events, which is pretty cool.

Now, cheers are one of my favorite

part of Key Club, and I can’t wait to spread the clout to other members in the future.

FALL RALLY SOUTH (CONT.)

BRIANNA ONG | PROJECT CHAIR

:30 am. And where were we? Savanna High School, waiting for our ride to Six Flags Magic Mountain. As I looked around, I realized just how big our division was. It was Saturday, November 10, and it was THE day—Fall Rally South! We quickly ran through our cheers, which we had been practicing since the first of our four spirit nights that began on October 13. For a month from mid-October to mid-November, we participated in each spirit night in which we learned new cheers. And the day was finally here for us to shine.

12 pm. Our session hadn’t even started, but we were already crowding around the entrance to the Golden Bear Amphitheater, trying to reserve the seats in the front middle section for us.

Unfortunately, we respectfully relocated to the left section in the front of the theater to make room for other divisions. And although we had to split up due to our enormous size, we still made it work.

1 pm. The spirit session had begun, the sound of cheering from every Key Clubber bouncing off the walls. I was nervous as I looked all around me and realized just how many people were involved in Key Club. There were colors everywhere, ranging from gray to lavender to pink to green to orange and to us, a sea of yellow Suns. And it started. Who could cheer their way to the spirit stick?

First round. The suns started off strong, cheering our hearts out as we shouted out the new cheers.

Increasingly getting louder, we belted out the lyrics to Count Down, Suns Grunt, and Brush Up. We smiled as we took our seats, knowing that our month-long preparation had paid off, moving along to the second round.

Second round. We smiled with pride as we cheered Shining Bright, Pump it Up, and Keep the Heat, three of our cheers from years before. There was no stuttering, no need to look at our phones. We knew the cheers by heart, and we were definitely in the mood to cheer as loud as we could until our voices wore out. It was harder this time, but we did it. We made it to the third and final round.

Third round. It was our last chance to shine, our last chance to win that spirit stick we had wanted to reclaim for years. We started off with Weather Report, running out of breath as we moved on to Boom Tick and cheering in perfect unison as we clapped and stomped along to our Rise of the Suns Closer. We waited in silence, anxious of the results.

And the winner of the spirit stick was announced.

“DIVISION 30 SOUTH!” We screamed and jumped for joy, tears spilling down some of our faces as we realized what had just happened. We did it! We won the spirit stick! And as we walked out the amphitheater, our hearts pounding, we screamed: “WE GOT THAT SPIRIT STICK AYYYYY WE GOT THAT SPIRIT STICK!!!” And I’ll never forget that.

Until next time at my fourth and final Fall Rally South!

Let’s get that spirit stick!

FALL RALLY SOUTH (CONT.)

T

GRACE NGUYEN | BULLETIN EDITOR o be honest, in the week before Fall Rally South, I was planning on going to cross country CIF than Fall Rally South. The whole week, I was crying and stressing about which event I should ditch. In the end, I decided to attend FRS instead, because I found someone to “replace” me in CIF.

Anyway, I set an alarm to get up that morning. We had to meet at 5:30 in the morning at Savanna, which was kinda weird because the bus didn’t depart until 6:30ish.

When we first arrived at Six Flags, it took us forever to get through the inspection and

the ticket line, so me and my crew ditched the rest of our school group and explored the park.

For most of the day, my friends and I went on thriller rides. I stopped after two of them because my heart couldn’t take the horror any longer lol. Throughout the whole day, I didn’t eat much. I freeloaded off Tobi’s fried chicken and fries, (hehe ty Tobi. ILY) but other than that, I didn’t eat anything for the whole day.

At 1pm was our call time for the rally. To be completely, honest, I think I had the most fun in the rally. We cheered our voices out. All hard work soon paid off as we received

the spirit stick for the first time in four to five years.

In the end, Fall Rally South was a great experience. This year was my first time going, and it definitely won’t be my last.

So if you’re ever interested in attending Fall Rally South next year or in the following years, don’t hold back! FRS is NOT an event you should miss. At least give FRS a shot before you graduate!!! :))

IN CONCLUSION: WE

GOT THAT SPIRIT STICK! EYYY!!! WE GOT THAT SPIRIT STICK!!

GO SUNS!!!

FALL RALLY SOUTH (CONT.)

E

TOBI YAO | HISTORIAN

very year, thousands of key clubbers gather at Magic Mountain and hold Fall Rally South to raise money for Pediatric Trauma Prevention. Individual clubs fundraise for this event throughout the whole year, and part of the ticket price to the theme park also goes to PTP. This year, our home club surpassed last year’s funds raised through many bake sales and school fundraisers. All the divisions in attendance also compete against each other in the spirit session. We were required to attend three spirit sessions prior to the event so that our cheers would be loud and in sync.

When we first arrived at the location, I was anxious to the gates. Buses that transported other divisions were also arriving and groups were walking to the front.

There was a rainbow of color and everyone around me was decked out in all of the spirit gear that we had. Tutus, headbands, hats, socks, and so much more! One of the many reasons why I love our division is because of our color, and even if there are many divisions all in the same spot, it is never difficult to spot where our group is.

There are many different blue, green, or red divisions, but we are one of the few that uses the color yellow, and it really helps our large group stand out!

The highlight of Fall Rally for every key clubber is the spirit session. Everyone in the theater screams their cheers at the top of their lungs waits anxiously after each round to see which divisions will advance. Although our first round cheers were strong, I could sense that everyone was worried if we successfully made it through since we accidentally started cheering before another division was done. Luckily, we passed through, and completed rounds two and three with ease. As the district executives stepped to the center of the stage to announce the winners of the spirit session, everyone went silent, but when our division was announced, the sea of yellow erupted into the loudest cheers of the whole day.

This year, I spent more time spirit battling and traveling around with a large group from Division 30 South. Although I love going on rides, the experience of spirit battling was much more enjoyable. One of my favorite moments of the day (excluding when we won the spirit stick) was when our group spotted another large group of key clubbers that we all wanted to spirit battle. They were so intimidated by our size that some of them ran away, however, those who stayed were greeted by hugs from everyone in our group. In addition, if a non-key clubber asked for a free hug, all thirty or so of us in the group would gather around that one person in one big group hug.

I definitely recommend everyone to attend Fall Rally South for a one-of-a-kind experience!

Have fun with it! Good luck!

NOVEMBER DC AMBER SUN | VICE PRESIDENT OF MEMBER RELATIONS

S

pirit Nights are a way for Key Clubbers to make new connections with

members across Division 30 South, get into the Key Club spirit before Fall Rally, and learn the cheers needed to represent our division at Fall Rally. This year, I attended Spirit Night, which was combined with November DCM, on

November 3rd.

It was incredible how quickly the division learned all the cheers and seeing everyone so excited for Fall Rally South 2018 was heartwarming. The part I enjoyed the most was the Spirit Battle between the Spirit Coordinators and the Presidents. I got to see OAKC’s President, Vina Nguyen, attempt to act intimidating in battle.

Nearing the end of Spirit Night, it amazed me how our division changed.

Everyone

was cheering and knew all of the cheers, and it seemed as if the entire division was pumped and ready for the big day, which was only a week away.

CM SPIRIT NIGHT NATALIE MELENDEZ | PUBLICIST

T

his month’s DCM was definitely a fun one. With Fall Rally South being around the corner at the time, it was a combination of Fall Rally’s spirit night number 3 and the November DCM. This meant that all DCM attendees had the opportunity to learn the cheers FRS attendees had been learning for the

big day.

I myself have not yet had the chance to attend Fall Rally South in my years in Key Club, but this DCM made me excited for next year, and I quickly came to the conclusion that I would definitely be attending Fall Rally South 2019.

Though I was not familiar with the vast majority of the cheers practiced during the DCM, I had a great time. Yes, it took a while for me to memorize the cheers and I was constantly looking at my phone for the words to follow along, but, having gotten the chance to recite those cheers with everyone else felt special. We all came together as a community and spread the spirit all around us. We were loud, we were proud, and we were having a really great time!

While the reciting and practicing of the cheers was extremely fun, my favorite part of the evening was definitely the mini spirit battles within different sections of the crowd.

I got an inside look at how Fall Rally would be like and recited the cheers as loud as I could with the rest of my group, a little

friendly competition is fun every now and then.

In the end, I left the DCM feeling more spirited than ever and with a sense of belonging.

I truly had an

incredible time and can’t wait to perform those

cheers and more at Fall Rally South 2019!

15

NOVEMBER DCM SPIRIT NIGHT (CONT.)

PAULINE DOAN | HISTORIAN

Y

esterday marked the first spirit night I’ve ever attended! November DCM was probably my favorite, or at least one of my favorite, DCMs I’ve ever been to.

Right as I entered Rosary Academy, I could see everyone decked out in their yellow division merch. Unfortunately, I *ahem* didn’t get the memo and wore

a gray Oxford Academy shirt but that’s ok! I just stood out like a sore thumb :’^) Anyway, since this spirit night was the second to last spirit night in preparation of FRS you could physically feel the spirit of the key clubbers around you. I sadly cannot attend FRS due to scheduling conflicts (I have a choir show on the same day! :0) but learning

all the cheers I’ve awkwardly mumbled beforehand made me feel so connected to Key Club.

Everyone was shouting together, stomping together, clapping together. We were just all connected as a whole to D30S. If we don’t win the spirit stick it’s rigged.

All jokes aside, I’m just so incredibly grateful to see how invested everyone has become in Key Club. More and more members come out to attend larger division events, local service events, or even weekly meetings. It warms my heart to see people taking the initiative to put themselves out there and willingly connect to those with the same

interests as them.

This was a crucial aspect during the DCM because D30S has GOT to be together as a family if we’re going to win that spirit stick at FRS. We are a family, and we’re not afraid to show others our spirit!

The spirit battles that commenced were so intense that after a good 20 minutes my voice was gone. Cheers and chants were being thrown left and right, but ultimately everyone was a winner because we’re all in this together.

Overall, I would rate this DCM/Spirit Night a solid 1000/10.

I can’t believe I’m already

halfway done with my term serving as historian, and I hope that I get to witness the same hype for every event next year.

Possibly in a higher position (Secretary?? Who

16

knows?)

christmas time

T

LEO HERNANDEZ | HISTORIAN

he end of college app season is refreshing in 2 ways: the sudden reincarnation of free time, and the coming about of Christmas and other holiday’s festivities.

These recent causes for celebration are underlined by the uniting factor of Key

Club: service. The holiday season always guarantees a peak in people’s generosity, ensuring a greater volunteer turnout. The end of the semester, as well as the end of college app stress, is also sure to impact volunteer turnout in a positive way. In light of these ideas, I’ve chosen to look back at my time in Key Club, and reminisce on some of my favorite holiday-themed events, in hopes that whoever is reading this may feel inspired to attend these annual events.

Firstly, one of my favorite holiday events is the Stanton Tree lighting, in front of the Stanton Public Library. Every year, people perform holiday songs, there is food, and live music. At nighttime, the giant tree is lit, and free Christmas trees are given to less fortunate families. It solidifies my Christmas spirit every year, and is a great event to

attend if you enjoy dealing with Christmas decorations!

Next, and similar to the Stanton Tree Lighting, is the Stanton Cultural celebration. As the name implies, holidays from Kwanza to Christmas are celebrated in a park in Stanton. At this event, you can learn about religious and cultural holidays that are celebrated in December and January, and can interact with the community. There are games, food, and Christmas themed food every year, cementing this event as one of my favorites as well.

Lastly, and one of my favorites, is always the food drive at St. Irenaeus church, which

takes place every other Saturday. Although this event isn’t necessarily holiday themed, it very much correlates with the overall spirit of giving that any holiday at this time promotes. This event has always been one of my favorites, so I do apologize for the constant promotion I give it.

In short, Christmas has always been about promoting a feeling of giving and service back to the community. In this way, it shares many of its root ideas with Key Club.

This year, I urge you to pay special attention to the humanitarian care you give during the holiday season!

grateful for key club

T

MAI-VY TRUONG | SECRETARY his month, as Key Club immersed itself into the holiday season, Oxford Academy Key Club members dedicated much of their time giving back to the community. With so many

service and social events throughout the month, each and every one of us found something to be grateful for.

With Fall Rally South at the beginning of this month, one of the biggest Key Club events of the year, I was able to witness the one feature that drew me to this club in the first place: the passion and spirit. Even though I was not able to attend myself, I was able to see how much time and effort members put into preparing for this event through videos and social media posts. It made me extremely grateful I am a part of a club as amazing as this, filled with supportive and enthusiastic people who never fail to lift your spirit.

In addition to all our social events, we also had a great number of service events to

continue the Key Club goal of giving back to the community. With Thanksgiving at the end of the month, I always felt thankful that I had a roof over my head and food to eat, because the service events reminded me that some people might not have those luxuries. I think in general, this month was a great reflector month for me in terms of Key Club, prompting me to remember why we do what we do in the first place.

Lastly, just as a note, I’m grateful that we have so many active freshmen this year.

It simply ensures that this club will continue to

serve its people and be able to continue the legacy that generations before us have

worked so hard to build.

JENNIFER VO | PUBLICIST

H

i Key Club! Technically Thanksgiving is over because I procrastinated and wrote my November article on the last day of November, but I just wanted to make an announcement:

I love

Pauline Doan!

Ok, so maybe you already knew that, but I’m going to appreciate our 2016-17 OAKC member of the year, May Officer of the Month, and legendary key club historian anyway. Where do I even begin? Back in freshman year, she was the first person to come with me to the Key Club general meetings because I was scared to go alone. I remember being so happy to have someone to walk to the meetings and sit with me.

Every time I’d forget to go or get lost on my way there, Pauline was always there to remind me.

A few months later, we applied to general board. Pauline was appointed as historian, something that she didn’t expect. I remember in the first few weeks, she was still learning how to work a camera. Instead of letting this discourage her, she ended up buying her own camera and becoming one of our most dedicated club historians. And when I say dedicated, I mean really dedicated. Every event that she attends, she takes up to a hundred photos trying to capture every important memory to include every member of our club. She always uploads them immediately when she gets home so that other people can use or repost them.

She got her officer article featured on the division newsletter once and represented OAKC at her first Cypress Kiwanis meeting.

Thanks to Key Club, I got to bond with one of the most hardworking and dependable people I know. I’m so full of love and admiration for this girl that I had to write about it. I mean, she really turned in her article three weeks ago and I’m barely finish-

ing it right now.
