Dress-down day, cards for veterans, a video for Valley Hi nursing home, and a diaper drive are only a few of the outreach efforts of the Key Club of Marian Central Catholic High School this school year.
Club members have held monthly board and club meetings during this time, despite being both in school and out.
“It has been a challenge trying to find events to carry out both remotely and with the hybrid schedule,” said Paris Marshall, Key Club president.
The month of October featured a “Pink Out” for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Students and staff donated $5 each to participate in a dress-down day centered on the color pink. The club raised $760.
Members spent early November creating handmade cards for veterans in honor of Veterans Day.
In December, Kat Strode, Key Club vice president of statistics, created a Christmas video for Valley High residents. The program showcased different club members submitting pictures with messages for the residents.
The most recent project took place from Jan. 25 to 29. Students first reached out to 1st Way Life Center in Johnsburg to ask whether they could collect donations of diapers for the center. Judy Cocks, 1st Way director, spoke to members of the club via Zoom to inform them of the organization’s work in helping women in need.
The club advertised the effort with signs they displayed around school. Social Media Editor Maddison Shepard posted the event information on several social media sites.
“We were able to collect a good amount of donations to help the center,” Marshall said.
All of these service projects are student-run under the guidance of advisers Brittany Solomon and Megan Graff.
“Club members have consistently participated in club events with both enthusiasm and motivation,” Marshall said. “In such difficult times, Key Club has truly been a candle in the darkness.”
In addition to Marshall, Strode and Shepard, Key Club officers are Tess Meisner, vice president of public relations; Jodie Winkelman, statistical secretary; Will Stotz, treasurer; Emily Richie, Iolian editor; and Patrick Kumm, awards chairman.
