RECAP
Dollywood, our District Fall Rally was a blast!
This year was one of the biggest Fall Rally in K-T HISTORY so thank
you so much for all of you who came out! I hope you had fun (because I
know I did)! This was my first Fall Rally and I didn’t know what to
expect but seeing all you guys was so eye-opening. I got to experience
how big and impactful Key Club was. I can’t wait til District Convention
(DCON) and see you all again!
“It was my first Fall Rally, and it was an awesome experience because I
got to meet new people from various divisions. I also loved spending
more time with my club members, and getting to know them more in a
carefree environment.”
-Sharon Kim, District Secretary

Berea Community High School
Berea Community made happy
packages for the teachers in their
school!
They wanted to partake in project
happiness by encouraging everyone
to #CelebrateMondays
Each Key Club member took turns
decorating boxes and filling them
with goodies to be handed out to
teachers and students.
The purpose of the project was to
spread joy and remind others that
acts of kindness are infectious!

Unaka High School
Unaka High School observed Spina Bifida Day and sponsored their biggest
project… the annual Spina Bifida Walk.
This year, it was held on October 24th
Key clubbers made and sold yellow ribbons and they were able to raise over
$2000!
The son of a faculty member has Spina Bifida so Team Brody is near, dear to
their hearts and really hits home.

Walden High School
Walden High School hosted a Haunted House, Monster Mash, on
October 23rd—their annual event they do in partnership with the Walden
Parent Association.
The key clubbers along with the faculty advisor were able to
contribute by constructing the house and coordinating the event.
They hosted 2 haunted houses (one for lower school and one for
middle and high schoolers) so that people of all ages were able to come
and have fun!
Walden uses this event to spread awareness of Key Club to all three
levels as well as using it to bond since the school offers K-12. It also
allowed for bonding for the Key Club members to interact with each
other and make new friends.
All profits made in the haunted house is used towards paying dues as
well as funding for throughout the year for supplies to use in service
projects or for Key Club events.
Keep on serving!

Henry Clay High School
Recently chartered—7 members of Henry Clay High School helped
alongside their sponsoring Kiwanis club of Lexington to serve about 250
students at Harrison Elementary School!
On Tuesday Nov. 24th, they served a thanksgiving dinner to Harrison—
an inner city school with nearly all students on free or reduced lunch.
The Kiwanis Club of Lexington has been partaking yearly—giving the
Key Clubbers at Henry Clay an opportunity to serve!
They have been featured by various news stations! Keep up the great
work!
Please send pictures and service projects to [email protected] to be
featured in the next School Service Spotlight!
