Also attending the meeting were club Vice President and School Board member Seth Blau, Kiwanis Board member and School Board member Michael D’Ambrosio and Kiwanis member and Superintendent of Oceanside Schools Dr. Phyllis Harrington.
During October the K-Kids Club organized through their school a classroom challenge for the Trick or Treat for UNICEF. Each class was challenged to see which would bring in the most money. The winner won a pizza party and a new classroom Kindle.
As a result, $3,300 was raised, exceeding their record of $800 from last year.
This is the clubs's second year of existence and the second year that they lead the entire school district with the most money raised.
All of Oceanside's sponsored organizations have raised approximately $5,500 towards the Eliminate Project from the Trick or Treat Boxes.
