Living With Creativity, Activity, & Service

Pancake Breakfast Time For two years, I have been a part of Key Club, and every year the club volunteers at the Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser. The fundraiser goes towards multiple extremely important and amazing causes, and I can't believe the amount of support and compassion that goes into the organization. Many, many people from all around the community show up to volunteer, donate, and contribute in any way they can to this wide spread organization that does so much good in the world. Volunteering Through The Years Each year, people within the club at my school sign up for a weekend in February to work the event. In the past, I have signed up with a few friends for a specific Saturday and have volunteered in multiple positions. When I was in junior high, I volunteered at the same event within Builders Club, a branch of Kiwanis, and worked the juice stand and cleaning station.

Valentine's Day Party  Thursday, I got to be a part of the annual Valentine's Day Party for the self-contained special ed classes at CHS. Beforehand, I was asked to come to a meeting and decide which part of the party I would contribute to. My friend, Haley, and I decided we wanted to be a part of the food committee. We signed up to make a special treat and couldn't wait. Pancake Time Before the party started, Haley and I got to make pancakes for the party. I love making pancakes, so I knew it would be a great job for me to do. We got to baking and laughed at our crazy pancakes and Haley's batter covered clothes. We made lots of delicious pancakes and couldn't wait to present them to the kids. Valentine's Day Wonderland The decorating committee had made the room look like a Valentine's Day wonderland. There were red decorations and hearts all over the place, and it was perfect for such a loving and heart-filled holiday. The entertainment committee had great ...
