Monthly Message Hey Division Three South! Hope you had an amazing October! I know I did. The title of this issue is "Tricks and Treats." You may be wondering why. Well, I was reflecting on all the things that October entails, in terms of school, extracurriculars, athletics, and personal items; there's just so much going on! It's been pretty busy for me but also exciting and fun.

Speaking of school, our first quarter is over! How was it for you guys? Mine was full of volleyball, which was great, but I'm definitely ready to take a little break. In any case, I hope you all enjoyed the first quarter of school and are able to safely enjoy a somewhat "normal" school year. I've been seeing and hearing about all the great work that you guys do and getting super inspired. We're off to a really strong start this year! Let's try to keep it up; I know it may be difficult, but we can do it.

Since the 1940s, Key Clubs have worked with March of Dimes to make a positive impact in the lives of babies everywhere. Today, Kiwanis members continue that culture of service by supporting the March of Dimes all year long by hosting service projects, raising funds and educating communities about the crisis of preterm birth.
UNICEF is the only organization of the United Nations dedicated exclusively to children. Working with other United Nations bodies, governments and nongovernmental organizations, UNICEF helps to provide for children’s needs in more than 150 developing countries through community-based services in primary health care, basic education and safe water and sanitation.
