2 Mount Si High School KEY CLUB newsletter
Outstanding Leaders: Morgan Evans Carrie Miller Sonora Metreveli Bailey Wilkerson-Cooper The hard work of these four Key Clubbers is what made our Toy Drive
a success. They organized a special holiday party meeting to wrap and
decorate the drop-off boxes, and even invited the Twin Falls Middle
School Key Club to come help. They distributed the boxes to the
different locations, picked up the toys, and filmed a commercial to get
the word out. This year’s Kiwanis toy drive/giving tree helped more
than 600 children, and the dedication of Morgan, Carrie, Sonora and
Bailey definitely made a difference. Thanks for your hard work!

Outstanding Volunteers: Molly Mabel New to Key Club this year, Molly jumped right in and started
volunteering. She has helped with all the major projects in the club-
the yard cleanup, bell ringing, Unicef, and decorating boxes, picking
up toys, and being part of the ad for the Toy Drive. When there’s
something to help with, the default answer in her mind is yes, not no.
She doesn’t see her service as a chore, it’s something she enjoys. She’s
even volunteered to run for an officer position. Thanks, Molly!
Sam O’Malie When no one is raising their hand to volunteer something, that’s when
you can count on Sam to nod and say “I’m pretty sure I can do that,
when would you like me to come?” Sam was a big help with making
and selling cotton candy at the Friday night football games throughout
the fall, and he continues to be a great volunteer, helping with bell-
ringing and much more. Thanks, Sam!

Thanks to everyone who helped ring the
Salvation Army bell and showed their holiday
spirit with carols, Santa hats, and even a tiny
Christmas tree! All the money raised through
the Salvation Army kettles goes directly back
to families in the Valley. And it’s fun, too!
