PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Hey Buzzin Bees, As you know Key Club's Annual Operation Christmas is HERE! This year, things are going to be a little bit different but nonetheless I know that Whitney Key Club will do its very best to provide families with what they truly deserve throughout the holiday season. What is Operation Christmas? In simple terms it is a partnership with the Salvation Army, where Whitney is assigned certain families to “adopt”. Once we adopt these families, it is our responsibility to provide them with food, gifts, and monetary donations. How is it going to work this year? Instead of Key Club representatives going to each of the homerooms to collect monetary donations, all clubs will be coming together to raise funds with fun and engaging club activities. What ways can I help fundraise? There are so many ways that you can play an active role in helping these families this season. 1. Whitney Key Club has its 7 Leaves Fundraiser the ENTIRE THANKSGIVING BREAK, and you can go one day, or the entire week! 2. You may send donations to Maya through Venmo to @Maya-Alvarez-Harmon and make sure to note in the Memo Section that your donation is for Operation Christmas! 3. You can continue to support Maya’s Makes! 1. For the Holiday Season I will be making digital portraits as well as continue to sell stickers. Half of the proceeds will be donated to the Pediatric Trauma Program meanwhile the other half will go to Operation Christmas. Your money will go to two great causes at once, AND you may give the gifts of stickers, digital prints, or even wallpapers to your friends, family, or your teachers! Teacher grams are now for sale as well! 4. You can also play an active role by asking family members to donate to Operation Christmas. Even by asking 3 or 4 people you would have greatly helped raise money for our Adopted Families! As you can see, Operation Christmas is a long held tradition at Whitney High School and there are so many ways that you can help raise money. Give the gift of a joyous Christmas to those who need it the most! I know we can do it! I miss you all and can't wait to see what we can do as a Club!
