University of

Nevada, Reno K-KIDS: The elementary version of cki

By Megan Jackling

Circle-K International is

committed to volunteer

service at all levels. K-Kids

was created to do just that -

involve elementary school

children in the community

and get them excited about

volunteering. This branch of

Circle-K meets every Friday

from 12:00pm-1:00pm at

Sierra Vista Elementary

School. Volunteers work

with students from 4th-6th

grade during their lunch

break. Any student at Sierra

Vista may participate, but it

is not mandatory. We

usually have at least 20 kids

show up, and they are all

excited to be a part of this

fun and engaging program!

In order to get the

children to become more

aware of the community and

world around them, we

involve them in

community-wide service

projects. Students are

currently collecting soda tabs

for the Ronald McDonald

House Charity, and are also

participating in the national

greeting card competition

within Circle-K

International.

When I first heard about

K-Kids, I knew that it was

the perfect program to get

involved in - I am studying

to be an elementary school

teacher. The students are

always excited to see us

show up, and appreciate that

we work hard to learn their

names and make the

experience more personal.

Once we get all the kids

together in a circle, we begin

the service project, and

always work on it with them

so that they know what they

are doing is important.

When they have finished, the

second half of our time is

spent playing with and

getting to know the kids.

When the bell finally rings,

they don’t leave until they

are each wearing one of our

name tags, to show pride that

they love attending K-Kids!

We give these children

something to look forward

to, and a reason to be excited

to go to school!

discovery museum

adopt a park/

BBQ & water balloon social

By Erika Mettke

On Saturday September 10, at

10am we all went over to

University Ridge Park to pull

weeds, cut plants, pick up trash and

move mulch around. Because

Circle K has adopted University

Ridge Park, it is important for us to

keep it clean for everyone to enjoy.

It was very labor intensive and we

all worked hard for two hours.

After cleaning up the park, we

all enjoyed hanging out and eating

pizza and snacks while bees kept

attacking us. My favorite part of the

whole event was definitely the

water balloon fight. Five hundred

water balloons and 10 minutes later

everyone was soaked and we could

not stop laughing. The proceeds

from the water balloon fight went

to Relay for Life, which is

important because my goal is to

fundraise $3000 by the time Relay

for Life roles around. This event

was by far one of my favorite

events; it included service, social

and fundraising and I had a lot of

fun.

Early on a Saturday morning on

September 3, myself and twelve

other Circle K'ers made our way to

Center St. for the grand opening of

the Discovery Museum. Hearing

the word 'museum', I figured our

job for this service project would

be to direct tours around exhibits

and say random facts about

dinosaurs. This museum however,

was no regular boring museum, no

it was more like a giant fun house

for kids! This giant facility

consisted of an interactive room

highlighting Nevada's history, a

room where kids got to generate

their own natural energy, a

outdoors exhibit where you could

camp under the stars, and an art

room where they got to paint on

walls. The epitome of it all though

had to be the giant cloud jungle

gym kids could climb to literally

reach the clouds! It was called a

children's museum, but the other

volunteers and I certainty had a

blast assisting the kids at play.
