We finally get to the part of the day when Activity Period begins. A break from classes, time to talk with friends and attend club meetings. You may hear that Key Club is meeting. You’ve heard about Key Club; it’s just a bunch of the “good kids” doing work and “helping out.” Good for them, right? Exactly. Saegertown High School’s Key Club is doing more than just a few good deeds. Three members of the SHS Key Club recently attended the Key Club Leadership & Convention Conference in Hershey, along with students from many other schools across the state. Upon arrival, each club was split into different groups to see what everyone had to bring to the table. Each state has one Governor of State and one Secretary/Treasurer of State. These officials are voted for by the members of the Key Club House of Delegates, two members of which represent Saegertown High School, Gabby B.- who is the SHS Key Club Editor, and Lindsay B.- SHS Key Club Secretary. Also joining them was Olivia F.- Key Club representative. During the conference, several awards were given, and the SHS Key Club, in it’s first trip to the conference, was not left out. Junior Gabby B. said, “We won third place for the Single Service Award for last year’s Prom Boutique. We had to put together a binder of documented details such as all of the planning, hours, outcome, and reason why we chose the project.” Saegertown High School’s Key Club has about 30 members at this time and they have completed several impressive projects including Share the Warmth and Battle of the Bands. “I don’t think people are quite as aware about Key Club as they could be. For example, we just had some new members join recently. Some people join Key Club just so they have something impressive to put on their applications for college, but I want people to realize the great things we do,” said Gabby.
