RECAP

Dollywood, our District Fall Rally was a blast!

This year was one of the biggest Fall Rally in K-T HISTORY so thank

you so much for all of you who came out! I hope you had fun (because I

know I did)! This was my first Fall Rally and I didn’t know what to

expect but seeing all you guys was so eye-opening. I got to experience

how big and impactful Key Club was. I can’t wait til District Convention

(DCON) and see you all again!

“It was my first Fall Rally, and it was an awesome experience because I

got to meet new people from various divisions. I also loved spending

more time with my club members, and getting to know them more in a

carefree environment.”

-Sharon Kim, District Secretary

Berea Community High School

Berea Community made happy

packages for the teachers in their

school!

They wanted to partake in project

happiness by encouraging everyone

to #CelebrateMondays

Each Key Club member took turns

decorating boxes and filling them

with goodies to be handed out to

teachers and students.

The purpose of the project was to

spread joy and remind others that

acts of kindness are infectious!

Unaka High School

Unaka High School observed Spina Bifida Day and sponsored their biggest

project… the annual Spina Bifida Walk.

This year, it was held on October 24th

Key clubbers made and sold yellow ribbons and they were able to raise over

$2000!

The son of a faculty member has Spina Bifida so Team Brody is near, dear to

their hearts and really hits home.

Walden High School

Walden High School hosted a Haunted House, Monster Mash, on

October 23rd—their annual event they do in partnership with the Walden

Parent Association.

The key clubbers along with the faculty advisor were able to

contribute by constructing the house and coordinating the event.

They hosted 2 haunted houses (one for lower school and one for

middle and high schoolers) so that people of all ages were able to come

and have fun!

Walden uses this event to spread awareness of Key Club to all three

levels as well as using it to bond since the school offers K-12. It also

allowed for bonding for the Key Club members to interact with each

other and make new friends.

All profits made in the haunted house is used towards paying dues as

well as funding for throughout the year for supplies to use in service

projects or for Key Club events.

Keep on serving!

Henry Clay High School

Recently chartered—7 members of Henry Clay High School helped

alongside their sponsoring Kiwanis club of Lexington to serve about 250

students at Harrison Elementary School!

On Tuesday Nov. 24th, they served a thanksgiving dinner to Harrison—

an inner city school with nearly all students on free or reduced lunch.

The Kiwanis Club of Lexington has been partaking yearly—giving the

Key Clubbers at Henry Clay an opportunity to serve!

They have been featured by various news stations! Keep up the great

work!

Please send pictures and service projects to Julie.kim@ktkey.org to be

featured in the next School Service Spotlight!

Share innovative service project and fundraising ideas.

Listen to amazing speakers.

Learn about servant leadership.

Train for your 2016-17 leadership position.
