Members of the East Bay High School Key Club spent time helping neighbors in need over the Thanksgiving holiday.
As part of Waterset’s Concerts for a Cause series, the students held a food drive to benefit the community’s annual Feeding Tampa Bay food drive and also participated in the second annual Turkey Trot, which benefits East Bay High School, Doby Elementary School and Eisenhower Middle School.
The students selected to assist Waterset because of the community’s long-time involvement at the school through a quarterly iPad donation program, and sponsorship of the school’s annual Teacher Appreciation Breakfast.
“Waterset has done so much for East Bay High and has supported several projects,” said Mary Ferguson, a teacher at East Bay High School and sponsor of the Key Club. “We’re so appreciative and hope to continue to grow our relationship with the community in the future.”
Sponsored by the Kiwanis of South Shore, the East Bay High Key Club launched three years ago to help provide students with an opportunity to earn required community service hours. More than 80 students currently participate in the club, and have organized a host of local projects. The students not only learn about community needs, but also gain valuable leadership skills.
