New Officers Selected for OHS Key Club

By Ellie Martin, OHS Torch reporter

At their April meeting, the OHS Key Club held officer elections for the upcoming school year; other discussion included plans for their Relay for Life service project on April 29th.

            On April Fool’s Day, Key Club conducted their April meeting during advisory and held nominations for officer positions. Ballots were passed out and tallied by the president and vice president to record the results.

            The officers for the upcoming school year are Natalie Stone as president, Katie Davis as vice president, Hannah Missle as treasurer, Michelle Dial as secretary, and Hannah Baker, Rebecca Kath, and Reagan Brown as historians. The old officers will pass off their positions on after the next meeting in May.

            Junior Natalie Stone said, “I was really shocked when the votes were tallied and they announced my name for president. I’m really excited to bring new ideas and serve the community even more in the coming year.”

            One of Key Club’s new historians, Hannah Baker said, “My first year in Key Club was awesome! I loved attending the meetings. I am excited about being a historian and taking pictures!”

            Key Club will be wrapping up their service projects for the year with their event for Relay for Life which will be jointed with NHS. The event will be held on April 29th from 6pm-6am at Normal West High School.

The Olympia High School team, “Fighting Spartans”, will be fundraising for the American Cancer Society before and during the event; all the proceeds go towards cancer research. At the event, participating Key Club and NHS members will walk to raise money and will honor cancer survivors as well as those who have passed.

            In May, they will hold their final meeting for the year and pass on the responsibilities to the new officers. Pizza will be provided by the Kiwanis Club to celebrate the work Key Club has accomplished this year.
