Hey There! My name is Shirley Chou and I’m the lieutenant governor for Div.11/18c.

I would like to welcome you all to another school year full of caring, service and fun.

Being back to school means Key Club is officially BACK in full swing. Which means it’s RECRUITMENT TIME!! Be sure to bring your friends to Key Club meetings and spread the word on the service we partake in and the fun we have. When I first joined Key Club I did not expect this to be such a huge part of my life and I’m sure it will IMPACT you in some way. I hope to SEE you all at the September PCM.
