AOC7 NEIGHBORHOOD CLEAN-UP

KAILYN KHAMKENSOUVANN, MILLIKAN, MEMBER

I think it was a good learning experience. It was a good chance to earn service hours during an event that anyone could participate in since it’s something that doesn’t really overwork you. And we could walk around with other people and friends so it was pretty fun. The adults helping were also very nice and helped guide us and everything and also shared snacks they brought.

WHY DID YOU JOIN KEY CLUB?

Bored during quarantine and wanted something to keep me occupied, I joined Key Club. Sierianna would tell me about Key Club and her memories, which sparked my initial interest.

WHAT HAS KEY CLUB TAUGHT YOU?

Like how everyone who promotes Key Club, the club has taught me leadership and social skills. If you’re skeptical about that, then I’m living proof. Freshman me would be BAFFLED to see me able to strike a convo with anyone or presenting at OTC/RTC! I’ve made some of my closest friends through Key Club, too!

WHAT IS YOUR KEY CLUB MOMENT?

My Key Club moment is Poly’s Escape Room Social back in 2020. I was a complete newbie and extremely shy to interact with others even over Zoom. However, I felt included in the welcoming atmosphere created by the upperclassmen and broke out of my shell a bit! This event truly highlighted the social aspect of Key Club and that we’re one big family! If I hadn’t gone to this event, I probably would’ve left Key Club.

IF SOMEONE IS RELUCTANT TO JOIN KEY CLUB, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO THEM?

I would tell them that you don’t know if you like something unless you try! I was in the same boat and I honestly wouldn’t be where I am today without Key Club.

This month we attended events and planned our own.

ROCIO VALADARES-CRUZ | CABRILLO

This term was amazing! I’m so thankful for my board and Cabrillo Key Club. As president, I witnessed the growth of the club and I’m beyond thankful for everyone’s efforts! Can’t wait to see what next term has in store :)

JAFET ARCHUNDIA | JORDAN

In the 22-23 term, Jordan has seen itself establish a larger presence within 13 South. One of our very own served the division by helping us grow our spirit as a Spirit Coordinator. We also served alongside the esteemed Poly Key Club early on in the term re-using plastic bags to make yarn. We may have not made as much progress we hoped to, but these achievements are proof enough that we are capable are becoming a greater group of ninjas. As our current board moves on to higher education, we wish all new ninjas a grand 23-24 term.

DESTINEE ROMULDO | MCBRIDE

Hiya ninjas it’s destinee the president (2022-2023) of mcbrides key club! I’m so proud of how active mcbride was this year. My board members worked so hard to make this term the best term! Key club made me so happy for these past 4 years.

JUDY LAM | MILLIKAN

HIYAAAA NINJASSS!!! For the month of March, Millikan Key Club participated in the 2nd AOC7 neighborhood clean up. We’ve also established our new board for the 2023-2024 term! YAYY!! We’ve been attending a lot of events lately and sadly the term is coming to an end :(( This was the best and fun year I’ve experienced in Key Club. I’ve had a great and strong term and I hope it will continue for the upcoming term! Until next time: It’s a great day to be a Raminja! Judy Lam signing out.

NISHA PATEL | POLYTECHNIC

Hello 13South! It is sad, but it is time for me to give my last goodbye update :(( I’ve learned so much from Key Club over the past couple of years and have made plenty of friends along the way. I’m thankful that I got to serve as PKC’s President this term, and I just want to emphasize how important every single member was this term. As one of my IP’s said, it all goes back to the members and as we close this term I can fully confirm that!!! I truly do appreciate the love that all the Keyclubbers put in. They make every service event, and DCM lively! Poly Key Club has been able to do amazing things because of our dedicated members. It is time for the next family of Keyclubbers to take over and although I am a little sad to leave, I am happy to be passing the torch to someone who believes in doing the best for their members too! Thank you for watching me give my awkward DCM updates every month, for watching me grow as a person, and letting me serve through Key Club. Slicing out, Nisha Patel

YUKI LEE | RANCHO DOMINGUEZ

March consisted of finishing the elections, we have a new official vice president and secretary. Our teachers went on strike right before spring break so we only held a single meeting at the start of the month. It’s been a quick first year and as a president, I honestly had no clue what to do at times but Sieri and some of the leaders had been a huge help. It’s almost graduation time for seniors and it’s a bit sad to see them go, wishing the best for them.

JENNIFER LOPEZ | SATO ACADEMY

Hiya ninjas!! For the month of March we tried to transition from the old to the new board. They held a few meetings with the help of the old board & started learning the new things of inside work. They also started looking into service events and using the social media as basics. The 22-23’ board is grateful for the opportunities and we hope that you all continue in key club! We enjoyed our term and we can’t wait for what the new board has in store. 22-22’ board signing out!♡
