On April 29, from 5-7 p.m., Key Club’s annual Inductions Ceremony will take place in the cafeteria. Food and drinks will be offered to members and their guests.

During this event, the board will honor and acknowledge member achievements, such as fulfilling the service hour requirement. 

“It [the ceremony] rewards those who have completed their 50 service hours requirement and is a special event where their families can come and see them be recognized for all the hard work and see them be recognized for all the hard work they do,” President Marleena Tibayan said.. “Every single inductee has done so much for our community, and we are proud to congratulate them with their member certificates and serve them and their families for the night.”

This ceremony will be coordinated by the newly elected board members, who have decided on a new theme for the event.

“This year we have gone with the theme ‘Keyotes in Wonderland,’” Tibayan said. “Our decorations will adhere to this as we plan to have many balloons and flowers decorating the cafeteria, as well as serve our guests pastries that resemble the idea of a tea party.”

With the help of adviser Michelle Kenwood, they have coordinated this event to their liking.

“I’ve been the advisor ever since the school has opened,” Kenwood said. “I take this to heart because it’s great to see all the students get recognized for their hard work that they’ve accomplished over the school year.”

With the hard work from our own Key Club, we’ve also achieved some accomplishments for the whole club as well.

“Our school has won the award for the most service hours in our division this year,” Tibayan said. “This helps represent our school because it puts a spotlight on the students who have done so much service for their community. It lets them know that their hard work doesn’t go unnoticed, and we get to show our members and their families how truly proud we are of them all.”

The ceremony is also melancholy for seniors who are club and board members alike, with them experiencing one last event in their Key Club career.

“It’s honestly really bittersweet,” former President Ella Abilar said. “Especially because I’ve been on board for all four years, and it’s cool to see how this club has evolved. And just having all the memories and making new friends, going to all the different events, planning all the meetings, and meeting new people, it’s been fun. So to see it end is sad for me, but I’m happy and excited for the new board, because they’re already doing great things, and I’m excited to see what they have in store for the upcoming years. I’m actually not sure what this new board has planned, because usually they plan it for the graduating seniors, so it’s kind of a surprise.”
