Hey Key Clubbers! School is back is session, and so are Key

Club meetings! We have our very first meeting on September11th at 6:50 and 2:45 in the teaching theatre, and I cant wait to

see all of yall and talk about yalls summers. Well talk about all

the events going on next month and especially about Fall Rally.

Everyone should go to that, because not only is it Key Club, but

its awesome rollercoasters too! In other news, Vivian Young andAmy Jiang got published in the Tex-O-Key last month, so that is

super awesome and if yall see them, you should congratulate

them!

Finally, yall mightve taken the summer off of volunteering,

but dont worry about getting your hours in, because we have

tons and tons of fun events for yall! Keep going to events and

meetings and youll get those hours done in no time!

Yours in (fierce) Service,

Dear Key Clubbers,

Happy September! I have had such a

wonderful time seeing the Cy-Falls Key

Clubbers during the first week of school and it

was amazing listening to all yalls summer

stories. As school starts, Key Club also

becomes busier as there are more events

and meetings to attend. For the month of

September, we have our annual Shop Til You

Drop events. These take place at the BerryCenter where vendors set up shop, they

need volunteers to help set up and clean up.

This was my first event as a freshman and is

still one of my favorites. Also, there are a

couple events for the Houston Public Library

should be very fun. At the events, you will be

sorting books and working in the warehouse.

We always have Grace Care events and thismonth is no different with a couple events

right across the street. Our first meeting will be

September 11th so please plan to attend!

Yours in Loving Service,

Amy Jiang

Key Club and Kiwanis are

teaming up with UNICEF end this preventable

disease that afflicts man

Every year in Key Club, the Governor of the Texas-Oklahoma District

focuses his time and energy on one particular issue. This issue iscalled the Governors Project. This year, our Governor, Luke

Broussard, has chosen bullying as his focus issue for his Governors

Project: Kickn Bullyn to the Curb.

Since we were young, weve been told that bullying is bad. But yet,

thousands upon thousands still claim theyre bullied every year. Why

is that? Are they lying? Are they crazy? NO. Bullying is a very real and

present problem in schools today, and no one is exempt from this.

Everyone is affected by bullying in some shape or fashion, and thatsan unavoidable fact of life.

What can we do about this? Well, stop being a bystander and tell

someone, and participate in anti-bullying activities. Together, we can

KICK BULLYING TO THE CURB!
