Seekonk High School Key Club News

The Seekonk High School Key Club is dedicated to helping our community through the efforts of volunteers, and in order to do that we volunteer at a variety of events around town as well as organize our own events and drives to support various causes. A significant portion of our volunteering takes place through both Aitken and Martin Elementary School, where we volunteered at events such as the Colorathon, Pumpkin’ Somethin’, Spring Fling, Aitken Mother/Son dance, and ongoing babysitting for Aitken PTO meetings. We also helped out with events run by the Hurley Middle School and Seekonk Public Library. In November, we collected canned food for the Ronald McDonald House; in March we put together a Courtyard Cleanup; and in June we held a toiletry drive for AIDS Care Ocean State. Throughout the year, there were also other initiatives run by members. This year we brought back Teens for Jeans, a jean collection for underprivileged youth, and continued with our “Little Hats, Big Hearts” knitting project as well to raise awareness about babies born with congenital heart defects. Key Club’s biggest event of the year by far was our annual Easter Egg Hunt. It took the cooperation of the entire club and the support of the community to allow the event to happen, and it was a huge hit this year as always. This year, a few members of our executive board attended the Key Club District Convention, for the first time in many years, for a great weekend of service and education about the organization in order to better our club. Key Club is looking forward to conducting another great year of service in the 2019-2020 school year.
