Major Club Projects

 
Key Club of Rampart High School

Every Key Club, which is made up of high school students of all ages and backgrounds, has the responsibility to conduct an active program of service for the school and community. Through this program, the members fulfill the objectives of the Key Club, which are:

                       To develop initiative and leadership,
                       To provide experience in living and working together,
                       To serve the school and community,
                       To cooperate with the school principal,
                       To prepare for useful citizenship, and

                       To accept and promote the following ideals: 
                                 To give primacy to the human and spiritual rather than to
                                     the material values of life. 
                                 To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all
                                     human relationships. 
                                 To promote the adoption and application of higher
                                     standards in scholarship, sportsmanship, and social
                                     contacts. 
                                 To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent,
                                     aggressive, and serviceable citizenship. 
                                 To provide a practical means to form enduring friendships,
                                     to render unselfish service, and to build better
                                     communities. 
                                 To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public
                                     opinion and high idealism which make possible the increase
                                     of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and goodwill.

Bringing Up Grades

Each student of elementary school age, who succeeds in raising their grade point average, without a reduction of a grade in any one subject, is eligible for this prestigious award.

Our members present a B.U.G. Certificate to students at several elementary schools throughout the northern districts of the Colorado Springs area.

CLUB FUND-RAISERS

Our major fund raiser is our annual bell ringing campaign in support of the Salvation Army.  All proceeds from our efforts go directly to the Salvation Army.

Another fund raiser is our donation can that circulates during each meeting.  These proceeds from various days are rotated between Care & Share and Silver Key Senior Services.

A third fund raiser is from the "Happy Dollar" contributions made during our club meetings.  Whenever a member is happy about something, or wishes to tell a short anecdote to the club, he or she donates a happy dollar to the pot.  These funds are earmarked solely for our Key Club Scholarship fund.

A fourth fund raiser involves the recycling of aluminum beverage cans.

We are always on the lookout for more ways to raise money for our service projects!
