Hey, Hey, Hey Monsters! I am Kaley Xiong, a 4th year member of Sheldon Key Club and I PROUDLY serve you as president for the 2020-2021 term! Can you believe it is the start of a new term already? Although Covid-19 has presented many unique challenges and unfortunately affected us in so many different ways, I am confident we will get through these dark times together, so be sure to express gratitude and spread love more often these days to those around you and look forward to giving back to our hardworking, caring, community once this tragic event is over. Key Club has affected my high school career in so many ways, and as president this term, I will do my best to present the same opportunities, memories and more for my members! This club offers countless opportunities such as events to give back to your community, meeting others with the same passion and spirit, and beginning life-long relationships with members, advisors, and Kiwanians! I am ecstatic to get to know all of you, so I hope you stick around with us this throughout year, and together, let’s have a MONSTEROUS term! I can’t wait to see all of you again soon!

VICE PRESIDENT
jack tran
HEY D7S! My name is Jack Tran, and I will be serving as Sheldon High School's Vice-President for the 2020-2021 term! Most people originally join Key Club for the service hours, I was the same. For me, Key Club has helped me break out of my shell during my freshman year of high school. It allowed me to make friends from grades above mine and help gain social skills. I want to try to actively reach out to all of the incoming members, and returning members too. Although I'm still learning how this position works, I hope to be the best Vice-President I can be for this term. It would be appreciated and great for you guys to attend service events, so we can get to know each other, socialize, and bond! Sincerely,
jack tran
SECRETARY
celine nguyen
Hey monsters! My name is Celine Nguyen and I proudly serve you as your secretary for the 2020-2021 term! The past years being in Key Club has been one of the greatest decisions I’ve ever made, with all the new people I’ve met and the fun I’ve had in service events. My goal for this term is to create memories for the members throughout their high school years and make them seem at home. Key Club is not only a club, but a family, and I want everyone to feel like they are a part of it. I also want members to have fun and fully enjoy the service events we have! It’s not only a great way to help the community, but it also helps create bonds with members not only from our club but also from others! With that, I hope you stick around and join our family. Laugh out loud,
celine nguyen

Wow! My second year of Key Club and i’m already an officer! My name is Jeff Tran, twin of Jack Tran, and I’ll be serving Sheldon Key Club as the treasurer of the 20202021 term. Like many, I first came to Key Club looking for service hours but, like many others I realized it’s for the connections you make as well. I look forward to working with all the incoming freshies and everyone else on the board! I hope everyone, especially the incoming class, will reach out to us, the board as much as possible. Enough about me though. You should get to know the other officers too! I promise none of us bite (besides Jack LOL). Let’s have

SOCIAL CHAIR
hannah dao
Hey There Monsters! As some of you may know, my name is Hannah Dao and I serve as your Social Chair for your 2020-2021 term! It’s still crazy to believe that this is going to be my fourth year in Key Club. I am so excited to be able to plan many fun socials for you guys throughout the term. I look forward to creating more friendships, memories, and a bigger family in this club. Joining Key Club as a freshman, I was very anti-social and joined solely for community service, but as I went to more service events and got to know the people in it, I fell in love. Key Club helped me shape the person I am today along with my second family who I have made an unconditional bond with. Although we are going through a worldwide pandemic, you can still do service at home, so make sure to get those hours in. I look forward to seeing what this term has in store for all of us! With Lots Of Love,
hannah dao

hiya!! it’s me again. Although I didn’t really expect my term to end like that I really did enjoy all the fun moments and all the hard moments we had together. Key club has become like a home to me. A place where I could go back to and feel safe. To all the seniors that are graduating, thank you for all your support and listening to me rant about stuff. I appreciate you guys a lot and I’ll miss all the hangouts and fun moments we had. To the Incoming seniors, Good luck!! make sure you cherish your last year in key club. Even though y’all will go through rough times, in the end you’ll look back and miss it. To all the underclassmen, you guys have sooo much time ahead of you. I strongly encourage you guys to keep being active in key club!
Hi everyone! My name is Ben Nguyen! This is my

2nd year joining Key Club as a member and unfortunately my last year too. First, I would like to say thank you to everyone who has helped PTP, workshops, and served our community. All of you are so incredible and very hardworking. Your hard work won’t go unnoticed and other people are thankful for your support. Also, I would like to thank my friends for always making my day whenever we hang out and making so many memories. You guys changed me to become a better person and gave me a different perspective in life. I am so blessed to have you guys in my life and just have lots of laughter together. Overall, my experience in joining Key Club was the best thing that happened to me and I hope all of you members will continue to help the club and have fun. To the new officers, I wish the best of luck to you guys and I know that all of you will do amazing in the future. Bye everyone! Always remember to have fun and help one another!

Are you guys doing okay at home? It's finally coming to an end. Time flew by so fast and saying goodbye is not easy, especially when I have been a part of Key Club in all of high school. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to be part of Key Club as a member as well as an officer. It has made me grow tremendously as an individual. I definitely overcame my "social anxiety" I thought I would always carry, developed leadership skills I didn't know I needed, professionalism for the real world, and the importance of serving our community.
However, I say the friendships I made are probably the best part out of everything. I witnessed the environment we created where everyone was comfortable enough to crack jokes, we even clowned each other and hung out after each service event. The friends I made through this club are the funniest and genuine people I have met. Everything we learn and all the key clubbers we meet adds more to our experience. As my time in Key Club comes to an end, I wish nothing but the best for each of you. I am forever thankful for all that Key Club has offered, and I will never forget the experience of being together with such an amazing club. Stay healthy, be safe, and thank you for the great memories we have together. I love you all

ttrreen na an ng gu uy yeen n i don’t really remember why i joined key club my freshmen year. it’s most likely that i joined bc my friends were joining. but i don’t regret it. bc those past four years in kc have brought me so much joy and memories. it gave me the opportunity to go on so many new adventures whether it was going to frn, dcon, or simple club hangouts with everyone. i got to get close with people that i now consider my absolute closest friends. and i gained so much experience with interacting with people in our community. although i wouldn’t say i was the most active member bc it took time for me to really feel comfortable. i enjoyed just being around everyone even if i said nothing bc everyone else would fill the silence up with so much laughter and jokes. you’ll never not smile when you’re with key clubbers. i wish i could go back again and revisit those times bc i never realized how much i took it for granted once quarantine happened. i lost the chance to experience dcon, last club meetings, and banquet as a senior. i had no idea that last years dcon and banquet would be my last. and those meetings i skipped bc of practice i would never get back. so i can’t express this enough but i hope all of you make the most of your time as key club members, always be cheerful and happy, spread as much positivity and laughter as you can.even when being in key club is stressful (@board) i hope you all can work together to make it a good year for your members. i’ll miss each and every one of you dearly and those i just smiled at as i walked passed by. thank you to everyone for making my years as a key clubber a great one :) y’all have so much potential, i know every one of you will do great in the future ! okay chao

To think that when I first heard of Key Club, my initial reaction was "So they make keys?". Well, my naïve freshman self thought that was silly and decided to be a part of the "Go Home Club". Missing out on Key Club my Freshman year was the biggest mistake I've made in High school, bigger than taking AP Calculus and procrastinating on my Research Paper in my Junior year. I've decided to join Key Club in my Sophomore year, being influenced by past Key Club members and friends. I first joined just for service hours. Thinking that helping the community wouldn’t be that bad of an idea and being able to go out for once
instead of staying inside seemed like a whole new experience. I remember my first ever service event, Farm to Fork, going in, and only recognizing two out of a couple of dozen people volunteering. I was sitting all by myself post service and the president and vice president at the time reached out and sat next to me. That was when I realized what Key Club really meant. It wasn’t all just for some community service hours. It was about meeting new people, new friends, and almost like a second family. It really did open you to a whole new experience that you would never find outside of Key Club. I was always quite the introvert, never needing to talk to others because I felt like I had a protective barrier around me that people could never get. That’s the beauty of Key Club. Here I am in my Senior year, about to graduate. I am still regretting my choice of not joining Key Club in my Freshman year. I am sitting here thinking of all the service events, DCMs, DCON, FRN, meetings, and potential friendship bonds that I have missed. So thinking back to when I first heard of Key Club, “Do they still make keys?”. Well, I tried, and only made so many. But it’s not about making keys, it’s about making new opportunities.

I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. Key Club has been a defining part of my high school experience. It was really hard for me to make friends because I transferred to a different high school my freshman year. Key Club helped me maintain relationships and helped me gain friendships with those at my new school. I found myself becoming really connected with SHSKC. They became my family and I’m so thankful for the people I’ve met. They invited me to hangout/get boba and even their service events. I spent the whole summer into my junior year with Sheldon Key Club and I’m proud to call them my family. Key Club has been a great outlet to express myself. I won’t always remember every detail from the community service events I’ve been to, but I will always remember the smiles on each and every member who attended these events.

a note to seniors:
hey seniors!

thank you for being apart of this key club community for all these years. this club wouldn’t be what it is without its members so to every senior whether or not you were just attended service or you were super active- we will truly miss you. even though we didn’t get experience your last dcon or a banquet, i hope that all the memories you’ve made over the years make up for it. as much as we will miss seeing you all at meetings, service, even at lunch- everyone is wishing you guys the best! so congratulations and good luck out there and don’t you dare forget the memories you’ve made with key club!! :))) so much love,
sheldon key club
