Key Club
Key Club is an international service organization that is student led. High school students in Key Club have the opportunity to develop good leadership and character. Club members provide service for their community and school. Through these volunteer services students grow as a club and individually. If students are involved, projects will provide service hours and will look good on college applications! John Curtis' Key Club is led by Senior Isabella Lulei and Mr. Simmons is the advisor of the club. Key club consists of a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and regular attending members.
Members of Key Club came together to host the semi annual Blood Drive at school. It took place on November 2nd from 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. at the Upper School campus. Students, parents, and teachers donated a pint of their blood to save multiple lives. Key Club helped donors fill out papers while the nurses took care of the rest. Members talked and laughed with donors to keep a positive atmosphere. This year's Blood Drive was a huge success!
