📚✨ Key Club students were thrilled to participate in a heartwarming project hosted by our local Kiwanis Club! Together, we gathered for a fun and meaningful book-wrapping party to prepare new and gently used books for children in need. 🎁
This wonderful initiative is a partnership between the Kiwanis Club and local elementary schools, where every student will receive 24 books during the holiday season. 🌟
Students, clubs, and community members met at the Hilton Garden Inn to kick off this collaborative effort, and we'll reconvene in November to complete the project. Thank you to everyone involved for making this season a little brighter for kids in our community! 💖
