Freshman Day AUGUST 13TH, 2019 Every year, on the day before the first day school, Denton High School has a half a day dedicated to the incoming freshman. This year Freshman Day was held on August 13th and Denton High Schools Key Club had a table in the hopes of recruiting new members. At our table, we had some of our board members come out to answer any questions the freshman may have had. We had many people come visit our table and hope that they'll become new members of our club this year and the rest of their years in high school!

"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is never waisted."

Hotter 'N' Hell Bike Rally AUGUT 24TH, 2019 The Hotter 'n' Hell Bike Rally was our first volunteer opportunity of the school year! On August 24th, some of our club members drove to Wichita Falls, where the bike rally was held. For this volunteer job, our members handed out flyers advertising the Kiwanis' Turkey Roll. They handed the flyers to people and put many under the windshield wipers of cars. After the bike rally, everyone visited a reowned jukebox collection.
