Valentine’s day is a fun holiday, and whether you’re in a relationship or not, it’s pretty much guaranteed that you stuffed your face with chocolate. Heritage Club, however, decided to sell $5 Valentines Grams (little gifts with a note) to students as a fundraiser to get money for their Thanksgiving Dinner, where they give ten different families a nice meal every year.
Heritage club doesn’t only make grams for Valentine's Day; they have also done this for Christmas and Halloween. The club had a recent event where eight students went to Grove Elementary School to help translate for Spanish-speaking parents at Family Game Night on March 16 from 5:30-7:00. There were 4 stations with different crafts like making collage papers. “There was so much stuff to do, and so many people. It was chaotic- but the good kind; it was the best time!” said member Jenny Alva.
The Heritage Club is always putting their minds together to come up with new ways to help the community. Thinking of as many ideas as they can, and deciding which would be more fun and helpful is the way they decided to do this. They’ve helped by painting buildings, helping with school events and other tasks.
“If we see someone or something in need of help, we will come together and help out. Anything big or small, we will take on.” said club member Joulin Pureco. Whatever puts a smile on people’s faces is what heritage club loves doing.
Heritage Club is a great club to be in, “It’s a place where you can be who you are. It’s a place about heritage and the community. How much better can it get?” said club member Tehya Clark.
