The Mineral
Springs Middle School Builders Club is
a service club that has been sponsored by the Twin City
Kiwanis Club since 1995. The club does community service
projects within the school and the community as well as two with a global
perspective.
Within
the school, club members provide tokens of appreciation for teachers
and staff, assist teachers with projects and chores, and provide information
about current issues. The club participates in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth
County CROP Walk to raise money to fight hunger, helps with the Kiwanis Club Pancake Jamboree, and sponsors a week of activities to
raise money for The Eliminate Project, a program to fight maternal and
childhood tetanus. The club also offers students a chance to develop
leadership skills through hearing guest speakers, by taking on leadership roles
in the club.
On
Tuesday, Oct. 31, the Builders Club collaborated with the kindergarten teachers
at Mineral Springs Elementary to read to the young students in the media center
after school. Led by Ms. Mariah Fulton and Ms. Aargaard-Eperson, the middle
school students chose books for the kindergartners, and provided snacks for
all.
Ms. Fulton stated that the
Builders Club members are “learning to serve in excellence,” and noted that there were 13
participants at the event.
Mineral Springs Middle School
Builders Club is looking forward to many more community projects this year, and
will continue to work to making our community a better place to live!
