PAST

DECEMBER DCMby habeeb khan

At the DCM, we got the chance to hang out with D27S members through karaoke and games. It was so much fun to connect with the members of both D27 divisions and meet new people! At the beginning, we had an icebreaker where we played a new version of rock-paper-scissors. It was confusing at first, but once everyone got the hang of it, everyone seemed to have a good time. The food looked delicious and there were so many different options. There was also a canned food drive and it was nice to see everyone’s stack of donations at the entrance. So many people contributed from both divisions and it seemed to be very successful. We were also able to celebrate with our sister division, D27S, for taking first place at FRN! Overall, it was a very fun event and I would love for our division to collaborate with D27S again in the future!

The kiwanis takeover was really fun and I liked getting to meet the people who help support the club! The test icebreaker was fun to do even though I only got one right. I also liked seeing them try to get the desserts and Mrs. D’s snowman plate!

CANDY CANE RUN

12/21/22

by giselle balaga

Me and other Mchs students held encouraging signs and waved them around towards participating kids and teachers as they ran past. It was cold and wet but we were able to stay together as a group under a tree. Some of the kids were really sweet and funny and it was refreshing to interact with them. Overall I enjoyed it and the staff were nice and helpful when it came to the lunch break and directing us to the field.

POLAR EXPRESS DAY

by katelyn her

Volunteering at Mosher elementary was a very fun experience and I got to relive old memories. I spent time with kindergarten students and helped them with coloring and organzing activities. I stayed an extra 2 hours cleaning up; going up and down the stairs to put away large items in the storage and reorganzing books back to the shelf. I really enjoy this experience and hope to do this again!

ST JOSEPH'S FUN RUN by itzel medina

I really enjoyed the fun run event. I was able to meet new people and make new friends. I was in charge of the water station with four of my peers. I really enjoyed that everyone came together to help make this event happen. I was really happy to see how many people were running for a great cause!

GIFT OF GIVING

by ren pham

Gift of Giving occurred in Sac State and it was really fun!! We had an opening icebreaker followed by three sessions of service and lunch! After the service workshops we had a presentation about imposter syndrome from one of the Circle K members which was really interesting. I had a lot of fun with my friends and hope to go again next year!
