Upper and Lower Classman Elections & What Members Are Most Excited For This Year Contact Information
“Hi guys! I’m Ashleigh, I’m a junior this year and this is my third year in Key Club. Although the things we love about Key Club are restricted this term, we can still make the best out of it! We can still come together as a community, do good for others, and even make friends. My dms are always open if you ever need anything! The best thing we can do right now is be mindful of others, and the easiest way to do that is to wear a mask. Remember to wear a mask when you go out and to wash your hands. Stay safe loves!!” Splashing for service,
Ashleigh Quiambao
2020-2021 Treasurer
