This school year, OHS Key Club will participate in different community service projects for the Olympia area such as a church dinner, easter egg hunts, and special education outings.
The special education teacher, Ms. Anna Shaw at OHS this year would like students in Key Club to come bowl at the Minier Bowling alley with the special education class. This outing will happen on a Wednesday, once a month for a couple hours.
According to the OHS special education teacher, Ms. Shaw said, “This outing with the special education students will give them support and encouragement with their peers.”
A Christmas dinner will also be put on by the OHS Key Club this year at a local church in Atlanta, Illinois. Key Club students will serve the food during the dinner in order to receive an amount of time to be wrote on their timesheet.
Another community service project that the students of OHS Key Club will take part in is the easter egg hunt in Minier, Illinois. Students in Key Club will hide the eggs and fill the eggs in order to receive hours for their time sheet.
During part of the year, OHS students in Key Club will also even make blankets to donate to local hospitals for different patients. The blankets will be made out of fleece material by the students. The time that the students can put on their timesheet is however long it will take them to make these blankets.
The students in the OHS Key Club can gain more time to put on their timesheets by doing other projects on their own outside of school. They can be anything to help serve the Oly community.
Bekah Bauersfeld, OHS Key Club President, said, “I’m very excited for the group of students to participate in these community service projects this year.”
