We partnered with Winn Montessori and @winnpta for a great spring event and Butterfly Experience today!
We heard dozens of families enrolled for the new year, we helped build a stronger community for the school, and our club provided hundreds of butterflies in a temporary exhibit for kids and families to see them up close. Our club members were also serving up hot dogs and popcorn provided by the school.
Members from the Key Club of Manor New Tech High School sold helote cups and other snacks to the hundreds of visitors and represented Key Club well!
Thanks to Green 'n Growing for letting us borrow plants for the event! The butterflies loved having a place to hang out.
We’re looking forward to many more partnerships like this to improve the lives of kids in our community.

Wow
Jasmine, Will, John from our club and Kylan from Texas Circle K International joined the Winn Montessori PTA this morning to help prepare their garden for a restart.
So glad the weather was nice for hauling all of that stone out of the overgrown garden beds!
The gardens will be a place of hands-on learning and discovery for the students in the fall. #KidsNeedKiwanis ... See MoreSee Less
