KEY Club at Bell
By Lynn Wu and Jenn Che - 2009/11/06 Edition
About KEY Club:
KEY (Kiwanis Educating Youth) Club helps out in the community and organizes fundraiser events at Bell – emphasis on “fun.” We support various charities in the community, such as Silver Springs Farm, and we are lending a hand internationally with Bell’s sister school in Munyun.
KEY Club is a great way to get involved, meet new people and just have fun! Members also have tons of great opportunities to round up stray community service hours with our many events.
We meet every Thursday at lunch, in room 230. Drop in and say hi! For more information, you can email keyclub@bellhs.net or visit http://www.bellhs.net/key.

Counter Strike Tournament: This year, KEY Club’s hosting a Counter Strike Tournament! It’s happening on Friday, November 27 after school. Sign up in teams of four to play CS and have a nice healthy dinner of pizza and pop. There will be a cash prize of $40 to $50 for the winners of the tournament. More info will come closer to the date, so keep your eyes peeled.
Road clean up: On September 19 and October 3, KEY Club members cleaned up Woodroffe Road along with members of Kiwanis International. The weather was a bit chilly, but KEY Club members’ cheer and enthusiasm warmed the day right up. Everyone worked hard to make sure that both sides of Woodroffe Road would be free of garbage. A few highlights of the day were the remains of a car crash, picked-up cigarette boxes with educational cancer warnings, pinecone lacrosse, and of course, celebratory donuts and pizza.
