NISHA PATEL * SPLISH SPLASH * HI HI Poly Keyclubbers, it is July, and we are halfway through the summer ! Time is slipping, but I cannot wait to see you guys soon. Let’s savor whatever time we have left and relax while we can. I’ve mostly been sitting in my room, meeting up with friends, and doing Key Club stuff! I’m excited to go to more in person events and get to know a lot of you more, so if you can tune in whenever that’d be amazing! There’s both division and club service events out there, along with some exciting new events I’m looking forward to. Although time is moving a bit too fast for my liking I can’t wait for the new school year WOO. See you there :D

Aaah our summer vacation is nearing its end (very sadly ;^;), but I hope you’ve all enjoyed it so far ! This summer I have been able to see my friends and even travel a little :D! Also, we’ve been having a lot more in-person service events lately, so make sure to attend those if you can!
KAERA MITCHEN Heyyy again Poly Key Club!! I hope y'all are having a relaxing summer so far! It’s crazy that by next month’s issue we’ll be back in school again, as a rising senior this time has been pretty intense for me with preparing for college applications. Especially as we transition into more in-person events, Key Club serves as the perfect way to unwind while giving back to the community. Keep signing up for our in-person events!

AUGUST KIWANIS SPOTLIGHT:
You may know that many high schools participate in the Kiwanis branch, Key Club. In the case of elementary students, they serve their community under K-Kids. Stated on the branch’s website, K-Kids activities include “assisting the elderly, organizing community food drives, [as well as] raising funds for sports equipment and extracurricular activities.” Like other Kiwanis branches, K-Kids helps children discover their inner leadership skills through service opportunities offered.

KIWANIS LUNCHEON |15
“Members of Poly Key Club and Millikan Key Club were invited to attend the Long Beach Kiwanis meeting at The Grand to gain some insight into how their meetings are run! Attending members enjoyed a nice lunch, met other Kiwanians, listened to the Kiwanis club updates (such as financials and other club activity), and learned how Kiwanis and Key Club has been a positive guiding factor in our communities!”
Kaera Mitchen, Webmaster
