EDITOR'S NOTE Hey Key Clubbers!

Tis the season to be jolly!

Now that the end of the year is approaching, I've been reflecting on Key Club's 2019.

We've achieved so much these past couple of months from meeting our fundraising goal (numerous times at that!) and passing 1000 miles on Charity Miles.

I'm extremely thankful and proud of you guys: members, volunteers, and peers! Remember to keep up the grind and read till the end.

Happy Holidays!

Yours in service, Rachel Joh Editor of Stuyvesant Key Club IKEYA Board 2019-2020

'Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la, la la la la!

It is officially the last month of 2019 and the last month of the decade :O 2019 was quite a year and thank you for making Key Club part of your 2019! As we are wrapping up with the end of the year, a lot of planning is happening for the first months of 2020, which in case you don’t know, are the last few months of the service year. A lot will be happening so be sure to check our emails whenever we send them so you don’t miss out!

Also a big thank you to everyone who applied for a committee, directors are in the process of reviewing your applications and results will be in shortly if not already.

Don't forget that we do have a couple of winter service projects that you can check out at bit.ly/stuykc-events. Also, in case you are not currently using Charity Miles, what are you waiting for? Charity Miles donates 25 cents for every mile you walk

PRESIDENT JASON XIONG

or run towards a charity of your choice and so far, we've already raised over $150 for Back on My Feet, the charity of this month.

Happy winter everyone and happy holidays to everyone that will be celebrating. As I always say, remember to stay warm and happy end of 2019!

Yours in caring service, Jason Xiong President of Stuyvesant Key Club IKEYA Board 2019-2020

Happy holidays Key Clubbers!!!

VICE PRESIDENT DAVID SHI

I hope you guys enjoyed yourselves during Thanksgiving and went to plenty of events! The end of the service year is approaching slowly and I’m going be sad when it does come. I can’t believe it’s been another month! But on a good note, T-shirt designs and committees are being finalized for the year! I’ll be sure to keep you guys updated, but until then, stay warm!! I hope to go to even more events soon to meet more people, since I feel like I haven’t been going to a lot recently.

Yours in service, David Shi Vice President of Stuyvesant Key Club IKEYA Board 2019-2020

Hey everyone!

We’re in the last stretch of the year, which means that *drumroll please* it’s almost break time!

Unfortunately, before break, you all have to make it through the week of tests that teachers like to pile on us ; ( (I’m crying on the inside).

However, what the break is also great for (hehe, break and great rhymes) is Key Club!! With the break, I sincerely hope that you guys attend more events and fundraisers and anything else that we host. In addition, you guys should all definitely come to our last meeting of the school year, where we will have great food, great music, and great people. It’s going to be holiday themed and a lot of fun.

Thanks to everyone who pulled up for our past events, fundraisers, and meetings. It’s been such a great year with all of you guys, and I hope the next year will be just as great. See you guys all when the ball drops!

Leaf Crunch

By Rachel Joh The sharp wind sliced at our faces and raindrops fell into these fresh wounds making our faces sting. Volunteers were tasked with raking the fallen leaves from the park. To our dismay, the rain weighed down the leaves and mixed them into the mud.

That means we had to put twice as much effort into the process but we lifted the mood by cracking a few jokes.

Although the event had to end early due to the weather, it was all worth it because we were all imbursed with snacks!

NYSoM Thanksgiving Palooza Event

By Sammi Chen The NYSoM Thanksgiving event in Brooklyn was a festive celebration of generosity and appreciation prepared by the community for the community. Close to a hundred volunteers from schools all throughout New York City were present to help set up the event, overlook dozens of craft tables, as well as distribute food and prizes to the guests. Some volunteers dressed up in fun, whimsical costumes to entertain the children, while musical 26 performances on stage entertained everyone at the event.
