Dog & Cat Toy Making

6 attendees for 12 hours

Colin Zhang

Sophomore The Dog and Cat Toy Making Event was a relaxing and enjoyable experience. We used household materials such as fabric and yarn to make cat and dog toys for animal shelters. There were easy to follow instructions to create a variety of toys, from pom poms to braided ropes. Personally, I made adorable little pom pom balls for cats. It took me a couple of tries to get them to hold their shape but the process was really fun! I hope there are more DIY craft events like this one in the future.

Cards & Bracelets for Children’s Miracle Network

Manya Kumar

Freshman Making Cards and Bracelets for Children’s Miracle Network was a fun and relaxing service event over Zoom! We started with a fun ice breaker and then got our materials. We were given a lot of freedom for what we could make which inspired everyone to get creative! I tried making different-sized cards and decorating them in different ways with washi tape, markers, and brush pens. My favorite part of the event was when I got to see everyone hold up the cards they made for the group photo!

Jocelyn Owen

Junior The Cards and Bracelets for Children’s Miracle Network was an online event where participants made bracelets and cards. I enjoyed creating colorful cards with positive messages for hospitalized children. It was also nice to take a break from schoolwork and make cards at the event. I’m glad that we could make cards and bracelets to bring some joy to children in the Children’s Miracle Network!

Campus Cleanup

21 attendees for 30.5 hr

Grace Kimberg

Junior The After School Cleanup was a fun event that took place after school! Attendees broke off into groups, went around campus, and picked up trash to help beautify the school. It was a great way to bond with fellow Key Clubbers and to help make our school a nice place to be! At the end of the event, it was fun to see which team had collected the most trash, and it was a great time overall. I really enjoyed the event and I can’t wait to do the next one!

Charity Miles

12 volunteers for 128.4 hr

Emma Goldman

Sophomore Charity Miles is an ongoing Carlmont Key Club event in which participants log their time spent running, walking, hiking, etc., and raise money for charity as a result of their movement. During the month of January, there were two walking occasions I logged on to the app. The first time, I walked my dog around the neighborhood for about an hour while listening to music. The second time, I went on a hike with my family at Pulgas Ridge Open Space Preserve. Both times I simply opened the Charity Miles app on my phone and clicked the “record” button to start recording my walk. Overall, I think Charity Miles is a great app idea, as not only does it encourage individuals to walk or run more, but also is for a great cause. While walking, I felt that it was nice to get fresh air and do something beneficial to my physical health. I am looking forward to continuing to use the app.

Bookmarks for Liberation Library

16 attendees for 36 hr

Samantha Bishop

Sophomore This event was a virtual bookmark making event that took place on zoom. During this service event, we made bookmarks for Liberation Library, an organization that delivers books to young, incarcerated youth. The bookmarks were made using a variety of supplies and the volunteers who participated in this event were given creative freedom, so there was a wide variety of bookmarks made. The event lasted a total of one and a half hours. During that time, we not only created the bookmarks, but we also did an icebreaker and learned about Liberation Library and the upcoming service events. The volunteers that participated in this event were also encouraged to continue making bookmarks during their free time. When the bookmarks were finished, the volunteers individually mailed them to Liberation Library.

D34N Hearts for Love

Grace Kimberg

Junior At the D34N Hearts for Love event, Key Clubbers from all over the district got to come together and make origami hearts to show their support for AAPI families who have lost loved ones. I really enjoyed being able to show my support for the AAPI community, especially after the rough time they have been having throughout COVID. It was also fun to make the origami hearts because I had never made them before, so I learned something new! In addition to listening to great music, supporting the community, and making the hearts, I enjoyed being able to hang out with people from our division. Overall, the event was extremely fun, and I can’t wait for the next one!

Arts for Little Hearts

Manya Kumar

Freshman Arts for Little Hearts was a Valentine’s Day themed origami Zoom service event organized by Alice Finkelstein. First, we talked about our favorite holiday (most of us like Christmas). Then, we began making origami hearts and flowers while listening to the Division playlist. The best part of the event was when I was following a heart box tutorial and I turned it over to find that there was an origami heart on the back of the box! I thought I had to separately glue on mini hearts but it was actually the same paper that makes the little heart and the box! I hope our arts and crafts cheer up the hospitalized children they will be sent to!
