Editor’s Note

Hey everyone, happy Thanksgiving! I hope you’re all enjoying

your break. This past month, we have accomplished a lot

through two events: Halloween at the High and Coffeehouse.

Let’s keep up the good work with our upcoming events!

Without further ado, here’s the newsletter, starting with a

message from Jasmine. Enjoy!

Your Editor,

Samuel Wu

President’s Message

Hey guys! We had a great month since the last newsletter. We had

two of our biggest events in the span of two weeks! Halloween at

the High finally happened, after two years of unfortunate natural

disasters. I hope you all had a great time, because I’m sure the

kids who attended did! Afterward, we had our annual Coffee

House. From this event, we raised about $665! That’s about 369

mothers and their future children’s lives that we saved from just

one event. Also, thanks to all of the performers and volunteers

on the serving and decorating committee. You guys were awe-

some! All of the work you guys put in does not go unnoticed;

keep up the good work and YOU might be the next Member of

the Month! Coming up in December, we have Movie Night. We

will be watching the Polar Express; food and drinks will be served

(at a very cheap price). I hope to see all of you there! Lastly, lieu-

tenant governor elections are coming up in January. Becoming

lieutenant governor is a great leadership role, an awesome way to

make friends, and a fun, unforgettable experience! If you have

any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me by Facebook or email.

Thanks for reading and have a great Thanksgiving!

Halloween at the High

On Halloween, dozens of PHS Key Clubbers gathered to par-

ticipate in our annual event, Halloween at the High. Since the

event was canceled due to Hurricane Sandy last year, many

were eager for this event. With face painting, games, a haunted

house, and more, we entertained the children and gave out

candy to their smiling faces.

Coffeehouse

On November 14th, our annual Coffeehouse took place in

the cafeteria. Students sang songs, read poetry, and performed

other forms of literature. The local band A Boy Named John

even played an acoustic set! Everyone had a good time drink-

ing coffee, eating food, and watching the performances; how-

ever, more importantly, we raised $664.40 through this event

to donate to the Elimate Project. That’s over 369 lives saved!

That is amazing. Thank you to everyone who came out to

support this event!

Upcoming Events

Movie Night (Dec. 12th 6 p.m. - 8 p.m.)

Our next Key Club event is movie night, where we’ll be

watching the holiday favorite, The Polar Express! To add to

the fun, the middle schoolers from Builder’s Club will be

joining us. Admission to the movie is free, but you can pur-

chase snacks and drinks during intermission. However, be-

tween now and the event, the officers will be selling dis-

counted snack package tickets in which you receive popcorn,

chips, and candy for $3.
