If you have ever met any Ukrainian-American, you know that all we talk about is how we are Ukrainian. We are all proud of our culture, and we want the entire world to know of our heritage. Recently people have spoken to me and asked how I’ ve been feeling, but this question isn ’t something so easily answered. I feel anger, sadness, confusion, and most of all, helplessness. Being Ukrainian and living in America or in another country while this war goes on makes us feel useless. We can ’t go there to help so what can we do? All we can do right now is fight in our own ways. Protests, fundraisers, donations are all we have right now, and Key Club has accepted me and stood by me while I asked them for help with something that meant so much to me. Key Club and I have been working on starting multiple different fundraisers, currently we are trying to get the school involved. We're giving students a chance to throw a pie in a teacher's face if their name gets chosen from a jar.

Iroquois High School (Division 25)
One ticket costs one dollar, one dollar that goes to help Ukraine. We are working on designing buttons to be sold at school. To show that we support each other and want to help in any way we can. We have so many ideas but whatever we do and whatever money we raise goes to Ukraine entirely. We decided that when we finish without fundraisers we will split the proceeds, half will go to a charity called RazomforUkraine which helps with many different issues such as humanitarian aid and accumulating medical supplies for wounded civilians and wounded soldiers. The other half will go to work together to buy medical supplies and packaging them to send through an organization called Meest. I can't even express how thankful I am to have Key Club by my side in this while we are all struggling. - Olha Muzychko, member of Iroquois Key Club
Norwood-Norfolk High School (Division 24)
The Norwood-Norfolk Key Club will be volunteering this weekend for our Drama Club. The Key Club has run the concession for them for over 12 years, this gives them a chance to take care of putting on a great musical. This year's musical is Shrek the Musical. The Key Club is selling Shrek ears, stickers, flowers, water, candy, popcorn and everyone's favorite COTTON CANDY!!!!! They love seeing Mrs. Dean covered in Blue Raspberry floss! A lot of our Key Clubbers are either in the show or doing behind the stage duties. Shrek needs many hands. When told we didn't have enough workers to do cotton candy, a member went out to solicit more help. All the proceeds go to the Drama dept. They said they would never have another group run the concession and that it is a well oiled machine. Written by: Patti Dean, Advisor of Norwood-Norfolk Key Club
