Activities and Clubs

Key Club arranges feed for education

The country of Kenya has, in recent years, taken steps to better life for its citizens. One new addition is the installation of a public school system, but despite the fact that these schools are public, many children are unable to attend because their families can’t afford the $30 uniforms for students.  Borah’s Key Club wants to change this. On Jan. 28, Key Club hosted a fundraiser at Applebee’s called Clothed for Hope to help raise money for the need in Kenya. Students and their families paid $5 to get in the door, and were treated to all-you-can-eat pancakes and sausages, and entertainment including a raffle for prizes. Each $5 ticket went toward buying a uniform for a child in Kenya, which allows the child to attend school. “For $30, each student receives a school uniform, new shoes, food, and the ability to get an education,” said Key Club president Jocelyn Schelske. Schleske continued, “We’re focusing on getting people in the door, and hoping to raise about $3,000.” Key Club also tried to encourage other clubs to participate in the fundraising by calling for a club competition. At the door, Corissa Allen, a senior Key Club representative, recorded club attendance as participants entered, and the club with the greatest attendance will be treated to one of two catered lunches. Allen explained, “Along with the catered lunch, the club with the most representatives in attendance might be interviewed by one of the most popular TV stations in Kenya.” After the feed was over and the club tallies were all recorded and finalized, the club in the most attendance was Key Club, closely followed by  Tactus and GSA. “We just want Borah to come together to raise some money,” Schelske said. Many clubs were represented at the feed.  Pancakes poured from the kitchen, managed by senior Ali Clapier, to be devoured by students, teachers, parents of students and Borah alumn alike. Amanda Kent, senior, has attended the past three pancake feeds Borah has organized. “At the last feed, there was a raffle and prizes and stuff, but this year they replaced the raffle with the club competition. I think the competition was a great idea, and a great way to get more of Borah involved,” said Kent. Entertainment at the feed included the musical stylings of Tactus, who sang at 9 a.m., an hour into the feed. Kylie Christensen, Key Club advisor and Social Studies teacher, said, “Key Club made $630 at the feed, including donations and all the tickets sold.”
