April 20, 2009-Pennies Results are out!
Finally, after almost 2 months of endless pennies, the results are out! This year Mrs. McCarthy and the Board decided to do something new. Instead of just honoring the 2nd period class who had the most penny points, there will be another honoring of the 2nd period class who raised the most money in total. This offers two ways to win this competition; they decided to award people who have the spirit of competition and those who have the spirit of raising money for the Pennies for Patients fundraiser.
Most Raised Penny Points - Ms. Holden's 2nd period [Band] 69.60
Most Raised in Total - Mr. Oderman's 2nd period [AP Gov] $98.74
In Total: $1,005.35
Thank-you everyone for helping out, we raised over a thousand dollars!!!!
April 3-5, 2009-DCON
During the weekend, club president and vice president Cynthia and Cherelle went to Key Club's annual District Convention in Anaheim this year. DCON happens once a year at a selected location and our California-Nevada-Hawaii district comes together to celebrate a year of hard work and to award those who worked their hardest. This year Leigh's Key Club was awarded with an Outstanding Website and we earned a patch to put upon our flag. Pictures and videos are posted under the Visual tab. If you'd like more information on what DCON is click TTK. Maybe it'll prompt you to go next year, it's in Sacramento, CA!

October 8, 2008- UNICEF + Halloween Party~
It is October already and this means UNICEF! UNICEF is an organization that Key Club International helps every year around Halloween in trick-or-treat boxes. Key Club has helped raised over a $1,000,000 to this organization that helps provide "lifesaving help for children in need." This year we are once again participating in the TRICK-OR-TREAT FOR UNICEF, you are given a box and you bring it with you when trick or treating. Ask people if they would donate any change they have for UNICEF which stands for United Nations Children's Fund. But, before we go out on Halloween night, October 25th we are co-hosting a Halloween Party with the Senior Women's Club. Details will be posted up on Oct. 14th. Hope you can make it to the party and the Key Club meeting tomorrow!
September 28, 2008- Return From RTC
Cynthia, Kathrina, Vicky and I have returned from the Regional Training Conference (RTC) this weekend, we all stayed at an overnight camp from Saturday noon till Sunday noon. We all had a blast bonding with our schools from the regions, bonds that will carry over to Fall Rally North (FRN) this October 25th at Great America. Many new friends were made and ideas were created in the multiple workshops and on Saturday we danced till midnight! There was a night walk to the Indian Campfire further into the woods, where everyone performed a skit with their groups. Pictures have been uploaded here-RTC. We encourage everyone to attend FRN, it is only $25 and $5 of that 25 goes to the Pediatic Trauma Prevention fundraiser. Our goal this year is $60,000 double from last year! Troopers let's get some fundraising done! See you all at Wednesday's meeting!
