9/15/16 KETTERING - For the first time in DRSS history, middle school students are able to join Builders Club—an organization sponsored by the local Kiwanis club for middle school students. It focuses on building character and developing leadership through service. Builders Club was started because last year's DRSS Key Club saw a need for the middle school students to participate in service projects and volunteer. As a result, they had a committee who researched and did the planning needed to start Builders Club for this year.

When asked about what Builders Club will do in the future, Mrs. Curran, the club advisor, said, "We will do at least one volunteering project where we go out into the community and roll up our sleeves to help a local organization. We will also plan and run one fundraiser here at STEM to support either a school or local charity." In addition, she added that Key Club and Builders Club will "definitely support one another's activities and projects, plus collaborate on a project or two this year."

Builders Club officers were sworn in this week by the local chapter of Kiwanis International.
Some things Builders Club has already done includes choosing officers and brainstorming what projects they will do this year. And, on September 12, all members of Builders Club were inducted by local Kiwanis members.  

Definitely an interesting new club, its upcoming achievements and projects will be something to see!
