The Jonathan Law Key Club is back up and running and will have its first meeting of the year on September 14 at 7 p.m. in the cafeteria.
Law’s Key Club will be run by Lieutenant Governor and Co-President Caroline Doyle and Co-President Hanna Keating. They are looking forward to their upcoming projects and are ready to see some new faces.
Key Club is a great opportunity for students to participate as volunteers and to earn community service hours.
“This year we are hoping to get involved in our community, hold some service projects at meetings, and fundraise, especially for Camp Sunshine, which is my Governor’s Project focus this year,” Doyle said.
Key Club hopes to successfully fund children with cancer to attend Camp Sunshine. For the kids, the camp is a great opportunity to have fun and do activities.
“I am most excited for all the volunteer work we will be doing this year,” Keating said. “We are working on a district project for Camp Sunshine so most of our fundraising will go to them this year which is really exciting. I think Key Club helps me as a student because it surrounds me with others with similar mindsets and motivates me to do better.”
Key Club is a great way for students to engage at school and meet others who share their interests.
“This year we will have a lot of new activities and we will be focusing a lot on raising money for Camp Sunshine which is a great cause that provides a fun camp for kids with cancer,” senior Maya Rosado said. “I think it’s important for students to join the club because it is an easy way to get your volunteer hours.”
Members say that helping the community is the most rewarding part of joining Key Club.
“Key Club has been very beneficial to me during my time at Law so far,” Secretary Skylar Johnson said. “I’ve met some really great friends, gotten closer with the Law community as a whole, and felt the joy that accompanies volunteerism.”
Students can stay busy this year and grow closer to Law with the help of the volunteer opportunities and activities offered.
“We were able to go to a Decon trip last year, and I was able to learn about treasure training and take care of the key club finances,” Treasure Kyle Chy said. “It benefited me by giving me volunteer hours, leadership positions, and there is an officer for every freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior as well.”
