GOALS FOR THE TERM CURRENT STATISTICS

Letter from Hey Blue Devils!

My name is Jessica Wang, and I will be gladly serving you as your DNE (Division News Editor) this term. My home Key Club is Dublin KC, and I am a freshman! I've loved anything related to art and design ever since I was a little girl, so this position is super exciting for me!

Although creating a newsletter and keeping up with deadlines is new for me and I may struggle with it a bit at times, I promise to serve each and every one of you with my full heart. I value all members of Key Club, so if you ever have any suggestions for the newsletter or anything that I or the DLT can do, feel free to email me!

This is my first year in Key Club, and although it was virtual, it was definetely super fun for me! I started school knowing literally no one, but I was able to meet so many wonderful people through Key Club! It honestly shocks me how far I've come.

I hope that in the next year, I can get to know everyone better! I'm looking forward to a year full of fun experiences (hopefully now that COVID is getting better!) and of course making newsletters for you Please don't think of me as this unreachable person. I know that it is easy to think that way (I definitely thought that way before haha). Everyone in Key Club is extremely kind and welcoming! I wholeheartedly want to become friends with every single one of you, so if you ever come acrss any struggles in life, feel free to vent to me! I've been told before that I'm a good listener and advice giver, so you can count on me to help anytime! My instagram is @jessicherries if you want to contact me in a less formal way :) Anyways, I already know that this term will be the best one yet, and I am so excited!!

Serving with INDIVIDUALITY, (old pics haha)

Letter from Hello Devils!

It's officially summer, which means the days (and the fun!) last longer!

Though this may be a rest period, this is actually a grind period for your officers and DLT members. Be sure to thank them for all they're doing!

These next few months are literally A QUARTER OF THE TERM :0. Make the most out of them because once school starts, you won't have as much time to attend some super fun events. I have tons of DWSs, DCMs, fundraisers, and socials planned for the next few months, so don't ever feel like you're bored! Your club officers will also have tons of events planned so don't forget to go to those as well ;).

In only two weeks, California will lift all COVID guidelines so we can start having in-person events. I hope to see all of you (in real life, not through a screen) soon and have the best three months ever!

Serving with LOVE,

Joyce Tong d26s.ltg@cnhkeyclub.org

"Nearing the end of the school year, we've continued bonding with other members and having fun volunteering.

At our meeting on 4/11, Cal High Key Clubbers worked to make their own Blue Devil name tags. Even though it was online, it was a fun meetingconnecting, drawing and gaining service!"

"As the new term started, it was awesome and so fun to meet with the members again on Zoom. Through the Crafts for the Community service event, all members were able to make beautiful cards and I am so glad that we are able to help Meals On Wheels. Through every card I hope that we were able to help someone feel better throughout their day! Many members were excited to join the event and several cards were made. Yay to LLKC starting this new term strong!"

"This was our very first game night of the new term!

Personally, I was super excited and looked forward to this event, and honestly, it did not disappoint! During the event, we played the game "Garctic Phone", which is an online version of the popular game, "Telephone" that I think we all played as children. Basically what happens is, each person has to write random sentences, which get passed on to other people, who then draw pictures about the phrase. Then, the people afterwards will try to guess what the drawing is! The process then repeats. I really enjoyed this event because not only did we just play the game, we also talked a lot while doing so, so it was overall a really enjoyable experience for me! Also, after we were done with one round of "Garctic Phone", we then played "Among Us", which is always fun! I would definitely join the event again!"

"San Ramon Valley Key Club is hosting a service project with the help of The Crayon Initiative! The Crayon Initiative works to repurpose used/old crayons, melting them down to create new crayons for children in hospitals. They collect donated crayons from restaurants, schools, and homes all across the country and with the help of volunteers, sort, melt, and package the new crayons for children’s hospitals all across the US. San Ramon Valley Key Club is working with them to help sort boxes of crayons. Members pick up boxes of unsorted crayons and return the boxes sorted by color when they are finished. Our members have sorted around 15 boxes of crayons which is around 60 hours in total!"

High school this year was kind of dull since, at least at my school, we couldn't do in-person learning for most of the year. Since school was mostly online, the highlight of my year has been a lot of stress trying to keep my grades up. I missed out on some of the key aspects of junior year, which hopefully I will get a chance to experience next year, unlike the seniors. I guess a positive thing is that the few fun times I had either online or in-person at the end of the year were extra special since there were so few of them.

-Vera Kostko, Campolindo

I have mixed feelings about this past school year. Even though I was lucky enough to somewhat dodge the hardest year in high school, my study habits and productivity has significantly declined. I often waited last minute before turning in assignments and pulled many all nighters before tests and major projects. I hope next year, everything can be back to normal so I and the other rising seniors can end our high school career back in school and be able to learn in an classroom setting again!

-Carter Soe, California This past school year has definitely been a one in a lifetime thing for many of us. My favorite parts of this year was definitely, waking up late, rolling out of bed and going straight to class. I definitely missed being at school and seeing friends but there were definitely some positives that came out of this change. Some things i didn’t like as much was the immense amount of work we were given lol. Being a junior was definitely more challenging this year and I thought it was definitely more mentally draining than other years. I’m just happy to finish this school year and hopefully go back to school next year!

-Richard Chung, Dublin

My thoughts on this past school year is that it has been full of struggles and stress, but also plenty of fun and comfy moments. As similar with most students, distance learning has been a hassle with less in-class time to learn and internet issues. To counter that, key club has been an amazing and essential part to this school year. All of the Dublin club, division, region, and district events that I have attended have been super fun as key club is overall a comfortable and exciting community! <3

-Maahika Samudrala, Dublin Its been hectic and stressful to say the least. I don't really think anyone knew what was going on combined with trying to do online school, it made it really difficult to get through the first semester. But I think in the second semester of school things started to get much better, as hybrid began and teachers and the hang of online school. I was able to learn my material better when I was going in person and being able to see my friends which helped me to be less stressed.

-Echo Doggett, Campolindo My thoughts on this past school year was good, as I am able to do online school within fighting through the pandemic. I have enjoyed hanging out with friends online, as we can still have fun and chit chat through zoom rather than going out to a danger zone with covid. It was sometimes tough, because we had to miss some fun like how we could have had the fun in person. It was boring at some time, where we can't go out to eat or have a party in person. The best thing is that it was an easy attendance to do every clubs while on zoom, and we can meet new people.

-Golden Shao, Dublin The transition from a physical classroom to an online one was challenging for me at the beginning. Online school seems to lack a routine schedule since things are changing constantly. I also miss the group interactions and other inclass activities that my past teachers implemented into the curriculum when we were in-person. In the beginning, the biggest challenge for me with online school was staying motivated. But over the past year, online school has helped me improve my sense of self-direction and I have been able to get good grades and stay on top of my classwork!
