Clearview High School Division 3A By; Dom Clark Clearview's Key Club is a club at Clearview Regional High School that does lots for our school and neighboring community. Last year our club had over 130 members, which is hard to get at our school since we have over 30 clubs that all try to lure in members. This past year we ran many drives for our school such as a "Jeans for Teens" run by Aeropostale to collect jeans for needy teens, a drive for hurricane victims, and a dress collection. Every year we run our schools talent show, which we donate a big portion of our profits to the Eliminate Project and for the first time we teamed up with our NHS to run a special needs day camp for kids. We had some volunteers from our club help with the annual 4H fair in our community and at our meetings had people write cards to soldiers. With all of our great members and officers Clearview's Key Club continues every year to better our school and community

Superheroes  of  Service   Fall Rally is right around the corner! We know we are all excited!

On October 13, 2013 we invite you to join us in the largest gathering of New Jersey Key Clubbers in the year. Imagine almost three thousand dedicated Key Clubbers cheering for their division in the Battle of the Spirit Stick! Our Fall Rally will surely be the best it has ever been with our theme, “Superheroes of Service”. This amazing gathering will be held at Six Flags Great Adventure. We will have an energetic welcoming session that will give attendees the opportunity to learn more about our District Project and hear from a motivational speaker. We will be collecting school supplies to donate to “Tools for Schools” on the very same day!

Our goal this year is to

reach over 3,000 attendees! Spread the word of the largest event of the service year! You won’t be disappointed with the amazing people you’ll meet that have the same passions as you. Contact your LTG with any questions you may have!
