Joining the Key Clubbers was Club Advisor Bonnie Sturm. Also pictured with the students is PHHS liaison Davey Willans and Kiwanis Director of Sponsored Youth Ron Orthwein.
Key Club is in international student-led service organization that provides its members with opportunities to provide service, build character, and develop leadership. Members participate in various service activities such as raising money for UNICEF, creating care cards for patients at Children’s Specialized Hospital, our Annual Senior Citizen Dinner Theater, and supporting local food banks.
Earlier this month, members of New Jersey District of Key Club International attended the 71st Annual NJ District Key Club Convention in Long Branch. Attendees took part in leadership workshops, learned about fundraising and advocacy, heard from state officers and keynote speaker Ben Nemtin of MTV’s “The Buried Life”, listened to inspiring stories, and met fellow Key Clubbers who shared the same passion for volunteerism.
The 21 Parsippany Hills Key Clubbers who attended DCON this year did an outstanding job of representing PHHS Key Club in undoubtedly the most successful convention ever, placing in various contests and winning the coveted Spirit Stick Award for our division for their display of spirit!
