The rest of the school year is fastly approaching, and I’m excited to keep this energy going!
The whole premise was key-themed. The Friday before our
Catch “Key” If You Can
A couple of days before the school year started, our sponsor, Dr. Berwise, gathered the officers for a meeting. She wanted to brainstorm as many ideas as we could for the year. In collaboration with our vice president, Bryant, I suggested our kick-off event: Catch “Key” If You Can.
meeting, August 26, various teachers would wear the Summit Key Club shirts from last year. Any students who “caught” them with it would spark up a Key Club-related conversation. Then, they’d be awarded a ticket that they’d hold onto until the first meeting of the year, August 31. The ticket would be placed inside a box, and a raffle would be drawn. The winner got a key they could use to open a mysterious box with a prize inside. (The mystery was a basket full of candy).The only issue now was the advertisement. As soon as we had confirmed the idea, our service coordinator, Jennifer Norris, got to work right away with the digital posts and posters. The week before our meeting, we started setting up physical copies of the signs all around the campus halls. Dr. Berwise set up daily announcements so that students would be aware of our event leading up to that Friday. The only thing we had left to do was wait and see the turnout.

The following Wednesday, Caia and Bryant came in with a ginormous Summit Key Club flag, a Key Club bell, and a pink basket filled to the brim with colorful streamers and an assortment of candies. Students from all classes were waiting outside the door by 3:05 p.m., and when they walked in, they filled out their names on the attendance sheet and dropped their tickets into a bag we put next to the door. Once the officers were done with the presentation of introductions and announcements, it was time for the grand finale! A boy named Osa ended up winning the prize. To finish off the meeting, we hosted a group Kahoot so everyone could get to know each other.
