Student Council Update B y J a s m i n e W h i t e

The Student Council has three activities as of now that are and will be happening throughout these upcoming months. One activity that is happening right now by the Student Council is the Pontiac Perspective. It is a weekly broadcast that displays sports scores, upcoming events, and other fun segments. We are looking for more people to join- if you are interested, please contact Mr. Durbin, Mr. Hackler, or Lydia Grampp to join. You do not have to be in Student Council to join the Pontiac Perspective. People that join can help make segments, videotape segments, and eventually help edit. The second activity the Student Council is sponsoring is a Pumpkin Contest. It will be held on October 29th. It’s a Fall Fest thing- bring your own pumpkin, and you will receive a prize if you win. The final activity is the Season of Giving, which will be held one week from November 9th to November 13th. A list of charitable items will be posted closer to that time. Please bring as many donations as you can due to the short timeframe.

Key Club Update B y E m i l i e C o l l i n s

The Pontiac Key Club has not rested in their service-oriented mission, despite quarantine and social distancing. During quarantine and the summer break, officers and members took time to serve their community in any way they could. One of the group projects was to write letters to nursing home residents. This project went well, and some members even received letters back! The Key Club has continued to serve the community in socially distanced ways too. They hosted a roadside cleanup in which 15 members and both advisors took part in. They filled over 20 garbage bags with trash left on the roadside of Route 66 on the edge of town. They’ve had a great start to their year and are excited to continue what they started. The Key Club is a committed group of individuals who are looking to adapt to new ways of serving their community and school with all of the new guidelines in place.
