Note from the Editor

Happy Valentine’s Day, Key

Clubbers~! I hope you’re feeling

the love for Key Club, because I

sure am! I’m very proud of the

work you’ve done recently! I

apologize for the lack of

newsletter last month, but I felt

that all of you pandas were up

to date on what was going on,

so I didn’t feel the need to tell

you what was going on.

Anyways, I would like to congratulate you all on the work

you’ve done as of late! We have finally finished our Bags

for Mats project, and we folded almost 400 bags in total!

That is AMAZING! Or in our president’s words, PAW-SOME~!

Keep up the good work!

Hyacinth Ruiz

Key Club loves

you and all

the work you

do~!

Past Events: Strip Poker Run

January 25th

Article by: Noemi Hernandez

“The Strip Poker Run was a great experience as well

as a heartwarming one. It was amazing to see the

amount of people running with layers of clothes on,

especially in the hot weather! There were so many

items collected and I couldn’t feel anymore proud

of everyone who helped and donated. I had a Paw-

some time and even met other students from various

Key Clubs! I was so glad to have helped out!

Past Events: Bags for Mats

January 25th

Article by: Danika Manguiat

For a while now, our Key Club has been collecting bags in

order to fold them and donate them to a shelter that creates

beds out of the bags. These beds will then be given to those in

need. Of course, our Key Club, being how it is, decided to

spice things up and add some excitement to the service. So

each meeting, for 30 minutes (or more) we would get in groups

of two (or, again, more) and our advisor would time us. The

objective was simple: whoever folded the most bags will end

up as the winning group. Because this took place over the

course of weeks, some of our teams ended up mixed up but,

overall, we all enjoyed the folding of the bags and admittedly,

I can say that I learned a bit about teamwork. The whole

service project was really enjoyable (who doesn’t love a good

competition?) and it feels nice to know that we managed to

have fun while giving back to the community.

Past Events: Chinese New Year

Parade

February 9th

Article by: Sarah Mirjavadi

The Parade was a very enjoyable experience.

We were able to see the different types of Asian

apparel that are traditional during the New Year. Not

only that, but we were able to interact with Governor

Sandoval and look a little more into our government

and how important our votes are in the future. We of

course cheered against the little cheerleaders by

“going bananas” and letting them know how…

We even showed Governor Sandoval how we felt and

embarrassed ourselves but it was fun. During the parade, we

were able to volunteer by handing out candy or stickers.

Even though I was running around like crazy handing candy

out to everyone, it was worth the smile the children and even

the adult gave with this small gesture. I think the best candy

giving part was throwing them to the people in the

bleachers. So many hands came out of the crowd in search

for candy! Let us not forget that we saw our D-28 South

Mascot! We just had to take a picture with the Panda’s!

Anyway, it was nice to hear the Governor thank us for our

hard work.
