Hello PHHS Key Clubbers!
Winter break is finally here! We hope that this holiday season you take some time to think about all of the families who may be struggling. Thanks to all of the hard work we got up to this month, we were able to raise food donations and eliminate some of the hunger people in our community are feeling. We also spread lots of cheer within our own school.
Also in this issue, make sure to check out important officer responsibilities for prospective candidates. Elections are just around the corner! We wish you all a very happy holiday and see you in the new year!
Yours in Caring and Service,Tara Srinivasan and Shreya Nair

Peek Outside PHHS:What’s the K-Family Up To?
The divisional event for Divisions 20 and 21 was a huge success! Many people from both divisions came, registering with non-perishables or money that went in support of our district project, Hunger in New Jersey. Key Clubbers also enjoyed lots of food while watching the movie Elf. In total, we raised 94 cans and $209!
