Additionally, come support THHS Key Club at Keepers’ Day on June 13th by purchasing a customizable tote bag; for only $10, you can own a gorgeous bag that is embellished with Key Club enamel pins and three iron-on patches of your choice! The selection is wide—from teddy bears to words, numbers, and more, we’ll iron the patches on for you immediately at the booth. On June 23rd, join us and eight other high schools (Stuyvesant, Cardozo, Bayside, Francis Lewis, York, Brooklyn Tech, Midwood, and QHSLS) for one of the biggest Key Club events of the year: Field Day! Hang out with old and new friends at this picnic-style celebration as you participate in a variety of fun activities and games.

The Adventures NYC event was fun and there were a lot of different roles that volunteers could be a part of. The organizers also made sure everyone was comfortable in their role and there was also lots of different food for the volunteers. I hope in the future the volunteers will be able to enjoy some of the activities on breaks but other than that it was a great experience and I would definitely volunteer again.
