Ala Moana Beach Park Cleanup
JV. Kapoliki, D22K
On Sunday, July 20, Kapolei Key Club participated in the inter division service project with Division 22 Hikina. The first round of this service project started at 9:10 am. Members were split off into different groups that consisted of a mix with Division 22 Komohana members and Division 22 Hikina members. Members received trash bags and tongs. Key Clubbers then moved to different areas to start picking up trash like food wrappers, plastic, and straws. Members took a break for ten minutes. The second round of this service project was at 10:05 am. Members took off with the same group from the first round. We wrapped up the service project at 10:50 am to prepare for the social activities.
Classroom Cleanup
CT, Kearny, D21E
On August 8, Kearny key club members had the opportunity to go onto campus to help with classroom organizing/cleanup. The event let us help teachers prepare their classroom for the upcoming school year. Members helped wipe down desks, scrape old tape marks, and unbox materials for the classroom. The event lasted for three hours with the President, 5 board members, and 5 members present. Some members worked in the storage room stacking papers, putting art supplies in one area, and wiping off the storage racks. A lot of the members switched roles midway to continue helping the harder tasks in the class after they were finished. By the end of the event the class was ready for the upcoming art students with everything neat and organized. This event allowed us to do service for our school while also helping a teacher have an early start to the school year with a clean room and set up class.
Freshman Orientation
SQ, AACT, D23
On August 7th, Isabella Ramirez and I ran a key club table at the freshmen orientation for the opeing of Debbie Smith CTE Academy. It was loads of fun, a few other members of key club were also there to help advertise the club, and just in general help out the table. Many freshmen came up to the booth we were able to talk about what key club was, and really open their eyes to all the opportunities awaiting when you join key club!
Burbank High School Registration
AA, Burbank, D16S
During July 30 to August 6th, Key Clubbers helped Burbank High School with registration for all grades. The White Tigers first helped set up and organized all textbooks into neat piles with the correct label. This system allowed for the textbooks to be found more easily. When registration started, students would enter the library and receive the help of a Key Club member to find the correct books to go with their schedule. Using an organized system, Key Clubbers reduced the long lines that previous registrations have held. With hundreds of students registering every day, the help of these Key Club members contributed greatly, allowing for registration to move at a smooth pace.
25-26 Planning
DD, Taft, D16W
On the 26th of July, some members of Taft Key Club got together to discuss possible service opportunities and events that we can hold this upcoming year. We met in a plaza, bought some drinks from a cafe, and got to work!!. We started off by looking through service opportunities that were previously provided and successful. This led us to finding some entertaining service events, such as Origami for Good and Rice Run!!! These are extremely fun service events that will hopefully get more people to be willing to participate. To continue, we also discussed the possibilities of collaboration with other clubs that are a part of our school. Taft Key Club, along with other clubs, held a night market last year. It was an amazing event that got many people interested in joining Key Club, as well as the other clubs that helped collaborate on it!! We plan to bring it back and to hold another similar event this upcoming year! To find out what this event is, you will have to stay updated with Taft Key Club throughout this year!! Overall, this meeting was extremely helpful and productive. It also helped foster closer friendships and cooperation between team members!!!
