2012– 2013 School Year in Review

The Key Club at Bellbrook High School part-nered with two of our previous students, Srirama Josyula and Rachel Billock. Both OSU students are part of Project Nicaragua, a 501-©3 national nonprofit that works to improve health & quality of life in Rancho Grande, Nica-ragua. The OSU chapter is working to build a library in this rural village for the children. Betty Hociota,a Key Club member, coordinated the book drive among all schools in the district and our local library to collect over 50 boxes of books to donate to this library in Nicaragua.

This year’s Senior members of National Honor Soci-ety(64 total) will graduate with over 3100 hours of NHS community service, which is about 6 times the NHS required amount!
