What do you do in the winter? Let me know! As you settle into the school year, please make sure to keep up with your paperwork! Most of you have not filled out the MFRs since the spring. Also, please submit your ERF! Fall Rally is in a couple of days! I hope to see some of you there! I have sent out information in my weekly updates, so please look for that. I hope that all of you have a wonderful fall and good luck to all of the seniors applying to colleges! Yours Truly, Chloe Baker

Service Spotlight Operation Christmas Child On Friday Novermber 1st Ticonderoga Key Club went to our local Dollar Tree and bought presents for kids in thirf world countries. We’ve done this the past couple of years. This year we have got 8 boys and 7 girls for our gifts. When we went to the store we always get a core gift. For our girls we get baby dolls and for our boys we got Lego cars. Along with the core gifts we also get more gifts such as a stuffed animal, bouncy balls, wooden crafts, and sticky hands. We also got crayons,markers, erasers,pencils, a religious book, hair ties for the girls, and everyone got a little pencil case. On Monday November 3rd during our 9th period we went to our cafeteria and sorted out a girls pile and boys pile. We had our life skills class come in and help out with stuffing the boxes. When we stuff the boxes it becomes a geometry class because we want to fit as much as we can in these boxes. We have already sent our presents out and are about to get a paper about the boxes we sent out last year to see where they were sent out to. - Gabe Vigliotti, President, Ticonderoga High School
Service Spotlight Halloween Bash The Clayton A. Bouton High School Key Club hosted their annual Halloween Bash on October 27th. The event was hosted in partnership with the New Scotland Kiwanis Club. There was a costume parade, games, food and a photo booth! Forty members volunteered for the event and about one hundred people attended the event. It was a success and we cannot wait for the next one! - Clayton A. Bouton High School Division 16
Governor's Project The New York Chapter of the Special Olympics is an organization that helps people with intellectual disabilities experience working as a team and other assets that come from playing a sport. The athletes also develop life long friendships along the way. I know that in our division specifically there is multiple Unified Basketball Teams, so be sure to lend a hand at practice and support the best you can!
