HAPPY MARCH!

March is my favorite month not only because of my birthday but the weather! Spring is the Goldilocks season because it’s not too cold or too hot!

It’s crazy that next month is the end of the term and my last newsletter. Poly Key Club has already elected their new board (love my treasurer baby, Natalie Kim), so time is going by QUICK. I’m honestly so ready for the next chapters of my life even though the adjustment will be hard.

To the seniors, Senioritis is so real right now, but keep pushing through so your college acceptances don’t get rescinded LOL.

I hope you guys have a slay March!

See you next month,

I feel like I’ve only been your LTG forever and for only a day at the same time! You all make this position so enjoyable and I have nothing more to be grateful for than some mighty ninja spirit <3 Ending with all the sappy division stuff, I am so excited for you all to welcome in your new CLUB BOARDS!

AOC7 NEIGHBORHOOD CLEAN-UP

WRITTEN BY ISABELLA DE LA CRUZ, MILLIKAN, MEMBER

Millikan Key Club had its AOC7 Clean-Up on February 18th. We were split into groups of f o u r members with one supervising adult a n d went around the neighborhood streets cleaning up trash, the first bigger street we were on had a lot of bigger objects that people dumped outside like car seats, broken off planks from dressers, etc. then we moved onto the other streets that had smaller pieces of trash, mostly snack wrappers.

08

It’s another day to serve and another day that PKC SERVED XDDD!! We helped clean up our neighborhood near poly with other LB volunteers f r o m the area. It was a peaceful (yet chaotic) event! I found water bottles, full on couches, and wet cardboard. Even though it was YUCK, it was nice seeing our neighborhood near poly as good as new. I hope y’all come through for future clean ups because there were also free donuts and coffee for helping out. Most importantly, I loved seeing PKC thrive. It was thrilling to be around our community and doing our civic duty as PKC-ERS. thank you to everyone who showed up a n d i hope y’all take the opportunities that your key clubs are putting out to serve SERVICE HOURS ALL ON THE CLOCK

POLY KEY CLUB ELECTIONS

Poly Key Club i s thrilled t o announce our new board: Vincent Santos, Rosie Sim, Natalie Kim, Elijah Samaniego, Tiffany Johnson, Chelsea Lucero, Mikkaela Arceo, and Myka Zaratan. They were selected and entrusted by members after listening to their speeches and caucus. The future is bright with these Ninjackrabbits in charge!

This term Region ATE brought back Region 8 Formal! The theme was a Night in a Thousand Paintings. The event was chaired by D13W LTG Janelle a n d the other LTG’s as well as DLT’s worked hard t o make the event the best it can be. There were multiple factors and steps in order to do so such a s coordinating a n d completing tasks within committees. On t h e night of February 18th, Key Clubbers came in formal attire and looked snazzy! This event was the last time in the term that all o f Region 8 will m e e t up; making it a night t o create memories and interact with old and new friends. Region 8 had a blast showing their dance skills on t h e dance floor and singing along to tunes! Towards t h e end, the Formal Court w a s announced in which Division 13 South’s very own won! Region 8 was unforgettable a n d can’t wait t o spend before the 2022-2023 Term concludes.

FEATURING MAK ORIBELLO FROM CABRILLO KEY CLUB

Why did you join Key Club?

Before officially joining Key Club, I had been eyeing the club ever since I was in middle school. The majority of my older friends were members, some even part of their respective school club’s board, so learning about the club’s core values and main mission pulled me into joining.

What has Key Club taught you?

Key Club has genuinely taught me to embrace myself by being more open as well as loud— in a good way of course! Compared to last year, where I wasn’t in any club and afraid of involve myself in anything, I have grown to become way more expressive and thoughtful thanks to the club! :D

What is your Key Club moment?

FRS 2022 most definitely is my Key Club moment as it was my first time attending an FRS. Despite the freezing cold morning, I remember getting up for the event and being so excited to see my friends, see other divisions, and bust a lung during the Spirit Battle. The experience made me realize how much I loved being surrounded with my fellow Ninjas as well as others in Key Club too.

If someone is reluctant to join Key Club, what would you say?

JUST GO FOR IT!! Everyone here’s practically family, so you’re bound to meet new personalities all while helping your community and having all that spirit. :>

Hello 13South! PKC has been booming with elections, service events, and socials! January might have been rough since we were ending and starting the new semester, but we’re hopping back on our feet. Getting ready for many new things to come! Hoppin’ and kickin’ in service, Nisha

YUKI LEE | RANCHO DOMINGUEZ

February was a bit light, it was a short month, we held one meeting, talked about elections and if anyone was interested in a position. Urged people to pay their dues if they were interested in a position. Some of us helped volunteer at the park next door, that’s pretty much it.

JENNIFER LOPEZ | SATO ACADEMY

February was a busy month with having consecutive meetings every Monday :O We held elections, hear speeches, and have elected the new 2023-2024 board!! As we elected them we immediately began some planning for them to get involved and trained to plan events for the future. More to come in March/April!!
