Over 80 came together to celebrate and recognize the chartering of the new K-Kids Club at Guilford Elementary School on January 13th. Under the guidance of Faculty Advisors Karen Thompson and Valerie Wade, plus Kiwanis Advisors Beryl Young and Heather Talbert, 20 students were inducted as charter members of the club during a night of celebration which included a slideshow of the recent events the club has participated in.
The evening started off with a complete pasta dinner donated by Mimi’s Café, Bottom Dollar and Crown Plaza Herndon. It included words of wisdom by Guilford Principal David Stewart who gave gifts to the officers and had proud parents witnessing each member receive their member pin and certificate plus take the K-Kids oath administered by DAK SLP Chair Heather Talbert. It was truly a night to remember for the students.
The club has more events planned as we get closer to the spring including a school beautification/landscaping project that got a boost from us as their Kiwanis sponsor with a nice gift to help their efforts. We look for more good things from this club in the future.
What a wonderful celebration for the Guilford students! Looking forward to hearing more about the clubs achievements throughout the year.
