Law’s Key Club is seeking make a difference for children in Vietnam.

The club has been hosting a school supply drive throughout the year to benefits kids in need.

“We are sponsoring a school supply drive, where we are collecting any school supplies such as notebooks and pencils,” Key Club Lieutenant Governor Tyler Chavez said.

Every district’s Lieutenant Governor chooses a project to run and organize and Chavez selected the school supply drive.

“I decided to bring this project to Jonathan Law and other schools so we can all work as one to get as many supplies as we can,” Chavez said.

Chavez wants to do more for the children in Vietnam than just giving supplies, however.

“What we are doing and what we are giving to them is more than just school supplies, it’s the ability for them to really learn and have an education,” Chavez said. “I hope that through this drive we will be able to help these kids succeed.”

Not only is Key Club doing a supply drive, but they are helping out the school in other ways.

“We have been running the refreshments stand for all athletic events,” Key Club advisor Mr. Boynton said.

Key Club recently completed their annual Salvation Army drive which raised almost $3,000.

Members are excited that the club has increased its membership since last year and for the club’s upcoming events.

“I am looking forward to the upcoming convention; we have done a lot of work this year and have increased our membership a lot from last year,” vice president Jordan Negron said. “We have around 80 kids in total.”

Students that do not belong to Key Club can help the club by making donations.

“They can help us by donating backpacks and school supplies, also attending events at school like the basketball games that we are doing concession stands at,” Negron said.

The club is also hosting an upcoming cookie dough fundraiser. 

Boynton said that the club is always looking for new members.

“I hope that we can continue working hard, and anybody that is interested in joining the Key Club they can always come and see me in Room 215 or during all lunch waves,” Boynton said.
