Hey Key Clubbers,

Thanks for all the hard work you all put in this

year! The officers and everyone you have helped re-

ally appreciates it. After all of our hard work we

contributed to fund-raise for Pennies for Patients,

they rewarded us with a shirt designed by one of

their Leukemia patients and free pizza! Next year

will start off with a blast with our annual Coffee

House and hopefully, Halloween at the High will

not be hurricane-d out! I hope to see you all next

year in September and I wish you all great sum-

mers!

Sincerely,

Jasmine Jean

2013-2014 President

Relay For Life

On June 8th, the PHS Key Club headed out to Veteran’s Park to help

out with Relay for Life, the annual fundraising event for the American

Cancer Society. For 10 hours, members were busy selling ,decorating,

setting up, and lighting luminaria bags. Someone even submitted a

shout out to Redhawk Compliments congratulating us on the good job

we did! In their free time, many participated in relay races, pull-up chal-

lenges, and dances. Some even went in the bouncy house or to the bal-

loon bender. If you missed this exciting event, make sure to go next

year!

Kiss a Senior Goodbye

As a way to help people say goodbye to the

Class of 2013 of Parsippany High School,

we sold bags containing Hershey kisses

and a message written by the sender. With all the hard work from

members selling during lunch periods and after school, we made over

$100 from this fundraiser! Thanks to everyone who helped sell and we

wish the best of luck to the Class of 2013!

T-Shirt Contest

The winner of the t-shirt

contest is our historian,

Rianna Gran! Congratu-

lations! Her Pokémon in-

spired design will be fea-

tured on all our Key Club

t-shirts next year.

As our last fundraiser of the year, we decided to try

someplace new, Kabab Paradise. It turned out to be a suc-

cessful fundraiser, bringing in $157.56 in total. We got

lots of positive feedback, such as that it was enjoyable to

try someplace where restaurant fundraisers are not usually

held.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support these events!

Enjoy the rest of your summer!
