Then we would donate food, toys, and medicine for the pets. The junior class representative had a great idea of finding a local elementary school where we could serve meals to families over the holiday break when students couldn’t get food from school.
The secretary gave many ideas, from organizing a day to pick up trash in the community, raising money to donate to charity, or painting a school mural. Moi, the senior class representative, thought of making bags filled with basic necessities for those living in homeless shelters and serving them a meal.
The officers came up with quite a few wonderful ideas, but we had to stick with one. After a vote was conducted and logistics were studied, we decided to use the idea created by our junior class rep. Our members are going to volunteer their time during the school day and read books to elementary kids in class. We’d also donate books that we had purchased with the grant money on the same days.
It wasn’t easy to come to a conclusion, but I think with this decision, our club will be leaving a positive impact on the community and its students. I also want to thank my officers for creating many great ideas and demonstrating a commitment to Key Club and its ideals. The success of the club wouldn’t be the same without them.
