To me, Key Club is a way to connect with both old and new friends from schools all over the division and even district. It is a way for me to have fun while also create an impact through volunteer work.

MARCH EVENTS

PROJECT Cicero

“I thought this event was particularly enjoyable. I really liked sorting books, and it low-key improved my genre-sorting skills. I would go back again because I thought it was really fun, and getting to network with other schools' Key Clubs.”

March 15th,

Key Club Keepsak

The Key Club keepsakes event was a wonderful experience, allowing us to create meaningful gifts while bonding with board members. I particularly enjoyed seeing the creativity and kindness shine through in each item, and I appreciated the opportunity to contribute my letter to Key Club.

Overall, it was a fun and fulfilling experience, and I would definitely participate in similar events again.

I contributed the t-shirt from an e year. The contribu Club keepsake individual and gr to these commu each other.

NYD Leadership Train

LTC was so fun, and I would definitely go again! It was a great way to spend the weekend, and I had the chance to see my friends from other Key Clubs across the division. There were workshops that aligned with the different interests of the attendees, and we even won awards for THHS Key Club!

DKC ning Conference

It was my first time going to LTC this year and I had a great time! I truly enjoyed meeting and connecting with other key clubbies. I was also able to learn a lot from the workshops, and the play fair was really fun as well. I would definitely go again next year! Xinyi Chen ‘27

I liked how some people brought up the fact that 'no' means 'no' and that it's never the victim's fault in cases that involve SA. I also liked that some of the speakers were survivorsthemselves.

TheRally AgainstSexual Assaultwasavery inspiring and powerful experience. It was a nice open space where everyone was able to speak freely and support the survivors. The energy of everyone supporting each other was very strong and I would do it again.

I really enjoyed this event because the weather was so nice today and I made some new friends. Being surrounded by friends while finding ways to make each other and kids laugh made the atmosphere so great. I would definitely do it again!
