DIVISION 10 Chelsea Felton
May 2016
Yay it’s May Yay its May! That means school is starting to rap up with finals and fun end of school events. Most of our Clubbers are ready for the summer and the fun it will bring. But still we did lots of fun activities this month like rapping up our bike rodeos, and even helping one the student at the school having to battle cancer. May was great and the club is really looking forward to stay involved during the summer!
Wolverines in Action As the weather starts to warm up more and more people are starting to spend time outside, so Riverton High School went on a mission to beautify the community. We sent out the entire school to go and pick up trash round town. Some kids were just sent around the school, while some of them were sent all the way out on the highway and other went to our parks and popular public areas. I was sent to the Legion Field, which is our local baseball field. We picked up trash around the field and stands. We ended up finishing early and we were able to play a couple rounds of kick ball until it was time to head back.

Kiss the Seniors Goodbye With graduation closing in quick, us at Riverton High School decided to make “Kiss the Seniors Goodbye” bags. This idea is basically a couple Hershey’s kisses and card with either a quote or funny meme on it. We sold about seventy of them, which was a good profit because we sold them for about $5 each. Key Club would also like to send a goodbye to the seniors of Key Club. So goodbye to Avery Hatfield and Ian Squires we will miss you guys and hope there's lots in store for your futures.
YOU?! A Graduate! Shut up!!!

Bike Rodeo Update This month our club was able to finish our Bike Rodeo which were all great successes. At one of our schools we needed all hands on deck because there was over 300 students. We had about sixteen student sign up for the school and every thing went along smoothly. One of the schools I attended had lot of great kids ranging in grade from K-2. They learned so much and I enjoyed having lunch with the kids. We even rapped up early and we were done and cleaned up by 2 o’clock.
Sean Morrison Banquet A couple months ago we discovered one of our students has been diagnosed with stage 3 testicular cancer. Our community has been great at helping and supporting his family with his fight against cancer. A go fund me page was started to help the family with medical expenses and traveling cost. Then the Riverton Key Club and FFA held a spaghetti dinner banquet to help fundraise more money. The family was super grateful for our help and we were happy to give our hard work to a good cause.
Scavenger Hunt At our last Key Club meeting of the school year we all went on a selfie scavenger hunt. Our advisor Ms. Hammer made a list with places locally to take picture in front of. We had to have somebody on our team that could drive and someone with a phone that took some good selfies. She even made it a competition to see who made it back to the school first. Some of the places we were sent was our local skate park, our football field, we even had to take picture with our pets. We all ran around town like crazy animals. Not to mention all the weird looks we got for taking selfies in usually places. My group didn’t win but we still ended getting water guns as prizes, so we just told everyone we won. Also I still had lots of funny pictures taken for us look back on.

Ideas for your Key Club Ice Breaker: Fly Swatter the rules of this game are simple. You need just a foam noodle that people use for swimming and about a group of fifteen or more people. Everyone need to stand in circle while one person stands in the middle. The person in them middle gets to hold the noodle. They need to go up to one person and try to hit them before they say someone else's name. The person in the middle continues trying to hit people until someone messes up and doesn’t mention someone's else's name in time, then that person gets to stand in the middle and try to hit people. Fundraisers: Most of the year we have fundraisers for Key Club. Like our Kiss the Seniors Goodbye Fundraiser. But the end of the year isn’t the only time for fundraisers. Holidays are a great time to take advantage of your school fundraisers. Sell Flowers on Valentines day, Candy Canes on Christmas, Turkeys on Thanksgiving… well I guess you don’t need to go that far. But you get the idea, it’s a great way to show your school what Key Club is and it builds great school spirit!
