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!
