Key Club Gives Back! 🔑❤️

We are incredibly proud of our high school Key Club members! Through a year of hard work—holding bake sales, selling flowergrams, and volunteering at Culver’s—the club raised $1,000 for the Animal Rescue Coalition (ARC)! 🐶🐱

The students voted as a group to support ARC and recently got to visit the shelter, meet some adorable animals, and present their check.

Thank you, Key Club, for your dedication to our community and its furry friends! 🐾
