3) Attention all students: if you are in need of service hours and notice an overwhelming amount of children's books in your house, then you're in luck! The Key Club's Annual Book Train will begin on Monday, February 3rd and run all the way until Friday, March 28th! Bring in your gently used children's books to Mrs. Peters' room C140 or Miss DeGregorio's room C120 and receive 1 service hour per every 5 books! These books will be donated to children around the community. In 2023 over 1,000 books were donated; in 2024, over 4,000 books were donated; and our goal for this year is over 5,000 books!
4) Attention all students: Key Club has recently partnered with Make-A-Wish and adopted a Wish Kid named Joey, who has, unfortunately, been diagnosed with cancer. Our job is to fundraise for his wish, which is to go to Disney World! During Advisory on Wednesday, February 5th, you will take a personality/compatibility survey for free. Please complete it by Friday, February 7th. On Tuesday, 2/11, Wednesday, 2/12, and Thursday, 2/13, Key Club will be selling the results of the survey for $5. If you wish to see who you are most compatible with, please bring cash (or check) to Mrs. Peters' room C140. All money raised from the results of the survey will go towards Joey's wish. Plus, the Perfect Blend will be running a special drink that week! Also, during the month of February, Key Club will be selling bracelets and stars to fundraise for Joey's wish, and can be bought for any donation amount. Bracelets can be purchased for someone special or just for yourself. The stars will be displayed on the windows of the library making a "Wish Wall" with the names of those who donated. All items can be purchased during Lunch & Learn in either the library or from rooms C140 or C120.
