NHS, Key Club rake lawns for community service project

November 17, 2023

NHS and Key Club went around town on Nov. 2 and raked people’s leaves. “NHS and Key Club have done this in the past, but not since I’ve been an adviser,” Suzanne Wood said. Some brought their own rakes and Wood brought a bucket of rakes.

NHS and Key Club helped the community by raking leaves for multiple elderly community members on Nov. 2, during the sixth and seventh hour.

“National Honor Society and Key Club combined forces to help our disabled and elderly citizens who may not have someone to help rake their leaves and cannot do it on their own,” Key Club adviser Suzanne Wood said.

Key Club and NHS got together and went on a bus around town to help people rake their leaves in their yard.

“Raking was at certain addresses within the Berlin city limits. The bus stopped at five different addresses,” Wood said.

This has been a long standing tradition that the clubs have been doing.

“I believe the Student Council and Key Club organized this a bunch of years ago. The NHS joined around eight to ten years ago,” NHS adviser Dr. Jody Zeimann said.

Students that are in Key Club and NHS got to decide if they wanted to leave school to help or not.

The bus left the school right after lunch and got back to the school around 3:10 p.m.
