[Bxscience Key Club] Warmer weather= More Outdoor Events :)

Hi guys!! :)

 

First of all, even with the special schedule on Thursday, we will have a meeting, so come to the music room 334 at 3:45!! 

 

So, this month is coming to an end but don't worry! We'll be finding more events haha :)

But as of right now, we have a Puppetry Arts Event, called the 5th Ave Family Festival where you set up stands in preparation for....a festival! :)

And then maybe you're hungry after the event. But we have prepared. Because we have the HOTPOT FUNDRAISER!!! We have made the prices a lot more reasonable, and you can come whenever you like! (from 5pm-8pm)

 

On Sunday, we will have the March of Dimes where we will be walking for the cause of ensuring healthy pregnancies for moms. It will be in the Lincoln Center Area, more information will be on the form.

 On the 30th, we will be having a Spring Food Fair at our school in the cafeteria after 10th period! I'll be sending out an email with a form for those who are interested in making some food for our table!

As for the events in May, we have a lot of walks coming up! TIME TO EXERCISEEE! :) First, we have the NAMI Walk which is a walk that supports mental health and brings awareness to those who are affected by mental illnesses. In this event, we will be course marshalls as well as helping out with registration. RIGHT AFTER NAMI Walk we have the Kids Walk for Kids with Cancer in Manhattan. We will be walking and volunteering in this event. (As for the waivers, if you have them you can give them to us NOW...at the meeting)

 

After eating all of that Japanese food, you can burn it off by walking at AIDs Walk the week after! The volunteering form is closed, so here is the form for those who are interested in walking! But you have to sign up online under our team name which is Bronx Science Key Club!!!! It's going to be a big event with many key clubs from other schools, so we can show some spirit by calling out the others :)

If you feel as though you did not burn enough calories in this walk, you can also participate in the SPRING AMAZING RACE 3!!! It will take place in Manhattan on the 25th of May. For admission you need to pay 10$ - this will cover participation costs.
Another big event coming up is actually in Washington D.C. from June 30th to July 7th and it's called ICON. ICON is basically an event where Key Clubs from all over the country meet up and hold conferences. More details and information will be announced.

 

So, after allllll these events, you can submit articles to Katie at xuek@bxscience.edu !!! The more articles are submitted the sooner our first newsletter of the new Key Club will be "published" :)

 

P.S. There will be a dance at Garden School THIS FRIDAY from 7pm to 10pm to raise money for imalive.org which is a website that offers chat service as an alternate to a suicide hotline. They will give the money to QPR Institute, an organization that trains people (like firefighters, counselors, police officers) how to deal with suicidal people. They have a DJ at the dance, a band, and the admission is only $7! If you are interested, sign up here!

 

 

Have a nice weekend!!!!
