Starting in September, the Jonathan Law High School Key Club will meet Wednesdays at 7 p.m. in the Senior Cafe to discuss their plans for upcoming events.

The Key Club has concluded their 2018-2019 year with a bang. They have exceeded their fundraising goal that they set at the beginning of the year for the Thirst Project.

“Our number one goal this year was to raise $12,500 for the Thirst Project so we can get a well going in Swaziland, Africa,” said Key Club advisor Mr. Boynton. “And we exceeded that, we raised $13,476, which puts Jonathan Law on the map forever.”

However, the Thirst Project was not the only goal that the Key Club had for the year. 

“I think we accomplished all we set out to do last year,” said newly elected Key Club President Angel Santiago. “But, just like a sports team we are always looking to do better than the year previous.”

Next year’s Key Club leaders are hoping that they can get as many new people into the club as possible for the upcoming year. This a strong goal because they lost a lot of people with the graduating class of 2019.

“My goals for next year are to try to get at least double the amount of sophomores next year then there were this year,” said newly elected Key Club sophomore and freshman Officer Amir Elhelw.

The Key Club has other goals for the upcoming year as well. They want to improve their public image; not only around the community, but around the school as well.

“Being the public’s relation officer means that I have to stay in touch with most of the community, whether it’s going to builders club meetings, or even keeping a good relationship between our club and the Kiwanis,” said the newly elected Key Club Public Relations Director Hunter Fonck. “We are also working on a bulletin board, so that people can see what is going on in the key club and what there is to sign up for”

Finally, the new leadership of the Key Club are excited to be working with each other throughout the new year.

“I’m pretty excited to be working with my fellow officers because all of us are sophomores and most of the team consists of my friends,” said newly elected Key Club Treasurer Noah Forsythe.

All in all, the Jonathan Law High School Key Club is primed and ready to have another very successful year in and around the community of Milford.
