DNE'S LETTER
Hello hello Penguins!
HAPPY MARCH!! I hope you all are well and had a relaxing break from school. I cannot believe we are already nearing the end of the term but I am so excited to see all our division will continue to accomplish!
Since it's March that means CONCLAVE!! Reminder that this D34 South x North event is THIS SATURDAY (3/4) at Menlo-Atherton High School 10AM-12:30PM. Are you guys ready to see LTG Sriya's child elect? I HIGHLY recommend you attend. Especially to my sophomores and freshmen, this is an exciting event if you are interesting in running for Lieutenant Governor in the future :O
For my seniors I know lots of changes are happening as we look towards the end of the year. With many college decisions coming out as well, I hope you all remember that everything will work out the way it is supposed to. You got this! That goes for all you purple penguins :)) I hope you enjoy the rest of this newsletter.

Conclave is just around the corner, penguins! It will be happening on Saturday, March 4th, at Menlo-Atherton High School. As a reminder, each club MUST send at least 1 delegate to Conclave. I hope you’re as excited as I am to find out who our “chosen one” will be for the next term

Our officer team organized a boba fundraiser to raise money for March of Dimes! We sold a total of 100 milk tea, passionfruit green tea, and brown sugar milk boba after school on January 26 & 27. It was a successful fundraiser and we ended up raising a good amount of money!

What do you enjoy about Key Club?
I feel like in Key Club you can do volunteer work meanwhile having a lot of fun. Like in my experience I can earn service hours by doing volunteer events with my friends and it feels like I’m just having a hangout with them even though I’m actually doing volunteer work. On top of that it also feels good to just help the community as well.
