During the month of December, the Red Land Key Club's main project was our "Cookie Caper." Our school has a Cookie Caper event every winter, where hundreds of cookies are baked or donated and then given to students and faculty members who are going through a tough time. The goal of this project is to brighten up their holiday and make them feel better. One day in December, many members stayed after school for several hours to bake cookies. Our Key Club alone baked and decorated over 77 dozen cookies, and they were handed out to over 100 students and faculty members! Also, Key Club members who were not able to participate in the cookie- baking event after school helped out by donating baking supplies or baking cookies on their own.
Although only in school for three weeks in December, the Red Land Key Club kept busy with multiple service projects. In the beginning of the month, the Key Club helped the National Honor Society students wrap gifts and raise money at Barnes ‘n Noble. The money goes to the Red Land talent show’s donation to a local charity. Key Club members also helped wrap gifts at a local mall, as well as help at the local elementary schools’ Santa Shops and collect items to donate to a Harrisburg Santa Shop. Holiday cards were also made and sent to a local nursing home. All of these small events were done in conjunction with Key Club’s bigger event of December. The Key Club helped with an event called Cookie Caper. This event, organized by our school librarian, provides students and staff at Red Land who have had a rough time recently either at school or at home with a little bit of holiday cheer. These people receive holiday cookies to try and brighten their day. To help with this, the Red Land Key Club baked around 77 dozen cookies. Overall, Cookie Caper was able to donate a plate of cookies to around 100 people this year. December turned out to be a shortened, yet successful month for the Red Land Key Club.
