The District Project is a way for Key Club to make a difference towards a certain cause every year. This year, our District Project is focused on education and stopping the widening of the learning gap; our goal is to help others reach their full educational potential. So far, we have achieved this through our Key Traits 4 Kids field trips. From February 6th through January 10th, we will be holding our Week of Service. On the next page you'll find more details about this service opportunity. DISTRICT PROJECT Education is Key!
To participate in NJ Key Club's Week of Service, we will be creating bags to promote reading among the 3rd graders in Bloomfield. We will need to create and decorate 400 paper bags which will be filled with handmade bookmarks and vocabulary words and definitions. WE NEED YOU TO HELP US ACHIEVE THIS! We will be holding meetings on February 1st and 2nd, so save the date! Be on the lookout for sign-ups that will be available in the coming weeks. If you want to get a headstart, stop by Ms. Halpin's room (B555) for supplies! READING IS SWEET PROJECT
