What’s up buzzy bees? As the new month of June starts, it brings the beginning of summer where you have endless possibilities of fun and new things to do. While this exciting break unfolds, let's ensure we continue to make our hours and help out our community through our service, leadership, and compassion. I know many of us may be eager to kick off the summer with beach adventures, why not combine your explorations with service by joining one of our beach cleanups held at Lydgate Beach Park from 8:30 am to 10:30 am? By volunteering, you have the chance to contribute to the preservation of our beautiful beaches for everyone's enjoyment including your’s. Since the school year has come to an end that means it's time to bid farewell to some of our outstanding Key Club members, let’s make sure to send them off with warm wishes for a fun, exciting, and successful future. Let's embrace this new month with enthusiasm, using it as an opportunity to make a positive impact in our community and inspire others to spread kindness wherever they go, just as we strive to do. You’ve got this Key Clubbers!

As the school year comes to a close, we need to assist with the graduation ceremony. We helped the seniors put on leis and watched them graduate. It was really special to see our own Key Club seniors walk onto the field and receive their diplomas at the Kauai High School Graduation. This event is sentimental because it marks the end of the high school chapter for the seniors and involves Key Club members helping them.

On May 10, 2024, I and other fellow members of Key Club attended the King Kaumualii Stem Night! Shortly before the event started, we sorted ourselvesintogroupsandwereassignedstationsto help run alongside staff members of King K. During the event, members of Key Club worked diligently to ensure the smooth process of each station, all while making sure the attendees; mainly children, were having fun. JB, Julius, and I got assigned to the roller racer station, where players had to exercise their memories to remember a series of numbers and letters from easy to hard difficulty. After memorizing, the kids ride on roller racers and set up cones to match the sequence. It was rewarding to see the kids who were struggling eventually get the sequence correct by persevering through the challenge. Overall, the event was an enjoyable experience, and I’m glad Iwasabletobeapartofit!
On May 4th I attended a Book Sale event hosted at Lihue Public Library. At this book sale, the library staff assigned us the task to organize books, put them in an appropriate order and help assist customers.Astimewenton,sodidthedecreaseof the wide variety of books and buyers. Our efforts were soon split up into three groups assigned with different jobs, one group staying back with the book sale, another group to help put away books inside the library, and my group where we assembled a mini train for the kids to enjoy. It was definitely a fun new experience for me, especially how surprisingly difficult assembling the train could be despite our group of 4. The kindness of the librariansandthepositiveatmospherereallymade me feel like an elementary student again. It was definitely worth participating in and I hope to experiencemoreinthefuture.

Members lined up along the lawn of the performing artscenterandguidedparentsandothersupporters to the ceremony. We were given a break from 4:30-6:00 pm while the commencement was underway and we were able to watch one of our very own advisors, Ms. Tiffany Sagucio graduate. CongratulationsMs.Tiff!Aftertheceremony,wewere tasked with cleaning up the chairs and floral arrangements. Each member worked diligently to fold and stack chairs as well as remove and pick up all staples and zip ties from the floral arrangements. After cleaning up at the ceremony, we also walked over to the lei area to pick up any confetti, leftover lei, or trash that was left behind. Overall, this was a very successful event, and it was nice to watch the commencementceremonyaswell.

Key Club along withmanyothervolunteershelpedwiththe food booth. The food booth was a great experience, working together with people from other schools and getting to serve people. It is always something to look forward to every year and it is always a blast.
On May 24th, 2024, Kauai High School Key Club participated in their annual service project that was helping out at the Kauai High School graduation. The service project this time around was divided into three different shifts. The first shift involved lei-ing each and every one of the Class of '24 graduates. These were the ribbon leis that Key Clubbers have made over the course of the term, which were divided into different sizes so that every senior could be represented. The second shift took place before the public lei ceremony, as members were directed to different areas of the stadium to guard the walkways with tape. Once the audience was allowed to enter and lei their newly graduated kids, participants ensured a smooth flow of family traffic. Finally, the third shift consisted of cleaning up Vidinha stadium by the time it was all over. Key Clubbers helped the faculty transport interns to their truck, along with picking up flower petals, plastic, and other pieces of trash across the field. Personally, I feel that this event was a great success. A majority of our members participated and had lots of fun, and guaranteedanotheryearofheartfeltmemories.
During our dcm on May 19th 2024 we had a Club social Between Kauai High and Kappa High. During this time we wereabletobondwitheachotherwhile workingon aserviceproject.Theservice project was to make meaningful mental health posters. Also, to celebrate our leaving key club members we held a senior send off to the seniors of Kauai high school where we placed leis on them and asked what they planned on doing after graduating high school. We then finally held our monthly Division Council Meeting and ended the day off withadeliciouspotluckstylesnacksesh.
