SERVICE from home folds of
HOPE
In April of 2020, Charter Oak High School Key Club participated in five events, Thank Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to our Kiwanians, Dog Toy Making, Art 2 Comfort, Rock Painting Kindness, and our April Division Council Meeting (DCM). We wrote emails to our Kiwanians to remind &thank themfor their dedication to our student organization in our Thank Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to our Kiwanians event. We made dog toys over Zoomto be dropped off at local shelters after the quarantine is over. We also created artworks for people who have been secluded fromtheir family members in our Art 2 Comfort event. Charter Oak Key Club also promoted kindness by painting rocks with heartfelt messages and pictures on April 19. Our last event was our April DCMin which we watched the movie Onward and the new division leadership teamwas announced. All of our events this month were held through Zoommeetings to prevent fromspreading COVID-19 but we still managed to accomplish all service events fromthe safety of our homes.
-Cameron Balli, Charter Oak Publicist
ART 2 COMFORT On April 18, 2020, Art 2 Comfort entailed key clubbers creating drawings and written letters for patients that have suffered from Covid-19 and are recovering in a convalescent home. Due to the lockdown placed in California, Art 2 Comfort occured on Zoom so all the members would be able to continue their service online. Members would then mail their arts to the convalescent homes to show the patients that they are not fighting this crisis alone and there are supporters who may not know them, but are willing to support themfromafar.

IPOLY FACE MASK MAKING
As the stay at home order has limited certain activities for service events, IPoly’s board thought of different ways to continue helping others with the materials they had. On Saturday April 11, 2020, IPoly’s Key Club had the privilege of holding their first online event which focused on mask making. With a new officer board, of course there was a feeling of excitement along with nervousness. When CoVice President, Diego Martinez, was asked about his experience, he stated,“It was a bit tough being that it was our first online event. I felt that not a lot of people were going to show up and for the ones who did, I thought they were going to be confused. Luckily, it worked out way better than expected. Fromwhat I know, many people enjoyed the event too, so the experience was great.” The plan is to keep pushing forward with a service event each month and keep members motivated.
-Arianna Morales, IPoly Editor
covina BOOKMARK MAKING On April 24th, Covina held a home service event in which we made bookmarks. This was over a Zoomvideo chat call from1:00 pmto 2:00 pmwith eleven members attending, including our very own LTGHilary Wong! Our cabinet had tried to host an event that was easy to do at home, so all that was needed was one piece of paper and drawing supplies. Each person was asked to make four bookmarks, and our president played music and talked to members while we worked. Our plan is to collect all the bookmarks when we get back to school, and donate them to a local library! President of Covina Key Club, Megan Do said, “Holding my first service event, was super nervewracking! I was excited to see people participating in making bookmarks, because it let thembe creative. Overall, it went pretty great! I can’t wait to plan more service events for my club!!!”

THANK YOU TO HEROS
This month we had a service event that had South Hills key club members, as well as some others fromdifferent Key Clubs, participate in sending an email or designing letters to send to healthcare workers or other essential workers for their work during this pandemic. One of our board members Henry Tiet a Junior stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The letters and emails event was a great way Not all heroes wear capes; some wear T to reflect on how great our teachers are masks. The global pandemic has our K and how important our healthcare workers front liners in the medical field working m are at this time. It was definitely a good overtime to ensure our safety, and it is w feeling to be able to thank our teachers our responsibility as a society to stay at w properly and show our appreciation to home, share our resources, and show our w them.â&#x20AC;?

This month, Members of the Northview Key Club gathered over a zoomcall to make thank you cards for healthcare works. Due to COVID19 members have to work fromhome but many took the time to write cards to healthcare workers that are still working to help people in these hard times. Materials used were paper, scissors, stamps, glue, etc. to make and mail cards to Kaiser Permanente Riverside Medical Center in hopes of brightening up workers’ days and reminding themthat we are grateful for the work that they are doing.

On May 2nd, Diamond Bar Key Club had our first event of the term. When it started the zoom, there were alot of old names where I recognized fromthe prior term. There were also people new to Key Club, which was exciting to see. We were all assigned a letter to spell out “Thank you doctors”. After we were finished, we held out letters up to the screen to spell the Phrase out. I was astonished to see how artistic people were. Overall I had a fun time to see people again and just to hangout and talk while showing appreciation to the medical workers!

“Fromhome, most of the things that I’ve done have been emailing or letters. Through email, I’ve contacted a few teachers and expressed my gratitude for them. With letters, I’ve written/ drawn little things for people who are primary healthcare workers and also people who can’t leave where they are due to health concerns”.

“I created letters/drawings for nursing homes! SI liked how that event was more chill and rather "comfortable" because I was doing something I liked doing, which was drawing. I thought it was cool that I could use my illustrations to heal those in the nursing homes.”
