Kiwanis Club of Durant

The Kiwanis Club of Durant has a rich heritage of service to its community of Durant and Bryan County, Oklahoma.

We are best known for our Annual Kiwanis Pancake Day but we pride ourselves on helping kids locally, nationally, and around the world. The Kiwanis Club of Durant was chartered on November 9, 1949.

🌟 Congratulations to this month's Kiwanis Terrific Kids from Northwest Heights Elementary! 🌟

Durant Kiwanis members were excited to visit Northwest Heights on Wednesday to recognize these outstanding students and present their Terrific Kids awards.

Each month, teachers select students who demonstrate the qualities that make them truly terrific. Each honoree receives a certificate, a Terrific Kids sticker, and a coupon from McDonald’s of Durant, a longtime partner of the Kiwanis Club in recognizing these deserving students.

Congratulations to all of our Terrific Kids! We are proud to celebrate you! 👏🎉

We were honored to have Kasey Bennett, Oklahoma Teacher of the Year, as our guest speaker at today’s Kiwanis Club meeting!

Kasey, a STEM teacher with Durant Public Schools, shared her story, her career in education, and what the Oklahoma Teacher of the Year selection process was like. She also gave us a glimpse into what the coming year will look like as she represents educators across Oklahoma in her role as Teacher of the Year.

Thank you, Kasey, for taking time from your busy schedule to visit our Club and share your story with us. We are proud to call you one of our own!

Our speaker at last week’s meeting was KLBC Morning Show Host Scott Corbin. He is also a very active member of the Durant Kiwanis Club. He had some very interesting stories on his family’s history in radio and their connection to many country music greats such as Waylon Jennings. Thank you, Scott, for your program and for your community service inside and outside of the Club.

Serving Our Key Club

Members of the Durant Kiwanis Club were happy to lend a hand at the Durant High School Key Club’s Annual Ice Cream Social yesterday!

The Ice Cream Social kicks off the school year and gives students an opportunity to learn more about Key Club and get involved in serving their school and community. Over 100 students attended this year’s event!

The partnership between Durant Kiwanis and the Durant High School Key Club is one we are proud of. When our Key Club needs a helping hand, Kiwanis is always ready to serve! We are grateful for the opportunity to support these outstanding students as they make a difference in our community.
