Key Club Offers Many Volunteer Projects

By Ashlyn Biddle, OHS Torch Reporter

   During this past week, OHS Key Club had their Key Club Week, by doing different service projects to impact people such as making treats for teachers and painted socks for local hospitals.

   The sponsor for Key Club, Mrs. Schroeder at OHS this year would like different students to take some different opportunities of volunteer work throughout the year. Some of the Key Club students did volunteer on different school days during their advisory this past week to gain more service hours.

   According to Bekah Bauersfeld, OHS Key Club President, said, “I’m glad that the Key Club students and I could serve this past week and possibly brighten someone's day.”

   One of the ways the Key Club students earned service hours this past week was by making some yummy treats for the OHS teachers and staff. Several of the OHS teachers said that it was a great idea to make treats for them because they can get hungry throughout the day while teaching.

   Another way the Key Club students gained some service hours was by painted different socks for the young patients at local hospitals. When the children receive the colorful, painted socks at the hospital, they might feel good.

   This Friday, the OHS Key Club group had a celebration meeting to end their week of serving. At the meeting, students got to enjoy some delicious desserts and snacks.

   There was also a special guest to talk to the group  at the Key Club meeting this past Friday. The special guest was a lady from the Hopedale Medical Complex. She had told the students in Key Club that there are many different volunteer opportunities at the Hopedale Medical Complex.

   Several students in Key Club said this past week was a great opportunity for volunteering. Also, it made an impact to other people around our area.
