Greetings fellow Key Clubbers
WELCOME MRS. CELESTE LAU-CHWERIUT
The first time I met Señora Chweriut,
I was a mousy freshman who was extremely
intimidated by the large buildings and even
larger seniors at Crescenta Valley High and not
entirely sure what I was doing in her first
period Spanish 1-2 class either. Chweriut, on
the other hand, practically possessed
everything but those qualities. With a charming
smile, a contagious laugh, and an abundance of
happiness that just about radiated off of her,
she was the perfect first period teacher any
scrawny ninth grader could wish for. However,
my gratitude for her extends much beyond
that. Not only did her charisma play an
important role in shaping my future years at
CV for success, but she also happened to be
the best Spanish teacher I ever had.
One of my favorite things about
Chweriut is that she is genuine. There are no
office hours when it comes to when she is
willing to help a student; and her ability to
juggle teaching Spanish, regulating CSF
(California Scholarship Federation), and being
a wonderful mother to her two daughters while
making it clear that each of our understanding
of the subject is a priority to her is admirable. I
enjoyed her class so much because the Chileannative went through tremendous measures to
help us experience the Spanish culture in
addition to the language. On several
occasions I remember she would bake
genuine Spanish pastries and cakes for all her
classes to taste. And there were many items
she brought items straight from Chile for us
to see as well. Although all of my Spanish
teachers have been satisfactory and efficient,
Chweriut always stood out to me because of
the passion she had to teach us everything
she knew about her language and culture.
By the time I finished freshmen
year, the buildings seemed quite cramped,
and the seniors were not so daunting
anymore. But I had also gained a special
friend, who happened to be a vicarious
Spanish 1-2 teacher. When I found out later
that summer that Chweriut had never taught
at CV until that year, my respect for her only
deepened. I feel proud to say that she is still
a great friend of mine, and am even happier
that she continues to teach her passion at
our school even now.
~Junior Alina Sarkissian
On behalf of the Key Club Officer Board
and members, I would like to welcome you
to our club. I am so happy that you will be
our new advisor and look forward to
working with you. Welcome Mrs. Chweriut.

Wilderness
Park Clean Up
After I signed up to clean
up the wilderness, I was quite
anxious. I usually don't get along
with nature and prefer to stay
indoors, at all costs. I woke up
early on a Saturday and fought with
my GPS in order to arrive on
time.
As
we
underwent
orientation, we became aware that
we were about to embark onto the
mountain and uproot large plants,
opposed to the "light trail repair"
that we had expected. However, as
time went on, we recognized the
passion driving the naturists
around us. Interestingly, the KeyClubbers present united and
worked as one. We quickly
became comfortable with our
surroundings and worked together
to dig up as many plants as we
could. As we labored in the hot
sun, we were content to be in the
company of others with the same
passion to volunteer and enjoyed
what would have, otherwise, been
exhausting work.
~Tech Chair Andre Aboulian
On Wednesday May 19th Key Club held a fundraiser at the California Pizza Kitchen in Glendale.
Personally, I am a fan of California Pizza Kitchen so I was excited to get hours for something I enjoy. I was
able to get money for Key Club while spending quality time with my family over a great meal. I also found a
way to manipulate the situation for the better by inviting my cousins to join us as well. That way I was able
to see the family members I do not normally get a chance to see and I made the bill larger so the Key Club
would get a bigger cut from the bill. Its seems to good to be true; serving Key Club while doing no more than
enjoying a nice pizza dinner with family.

INTERNATIONAL SERVICE!
OFFICER OF THE MONTH 
Yelling out to her members, helping out the freshmen, and running a
club of hundreds of students, Jessica Sin is truly the force that drives our club.
She dedicated the most hours to key club during her junior year AND during the
AP month. Jessica’s efforts reflect her three years as a dedicated member and an
officer contributing to serve our community.
I personally have known Jessica since the 8th grade, and even then she
was a big sister figure always willing to help somebody out. Her outgoing
personality and positive attitude always cheers up those around her. Growing
from a member, to a representative, and finally to a president, Jessica Sin clearly
demonstrates not only her dedication to Key Club but also to our community.
Stretching out beyond our Key Club, Jessica also spends her time working with
other organizations such as PAVA and the Academy of Science and Medicine.
Not only that, but she also excels in academics and leads a group of cellist as
section leader without saving her time for her friends. How she balances such a
complicated schedule still baffles my mind.
As a friend and a fellow officer of Key Club, I gladly nominate Jessica Sin
as the officer of the month for May.
JESSICA SIN
MEMBER OF THE MONTH 
Although many Juniors can become overwhelmed by their
demanding academic schedules and from studying for APs, SATs, and
ACTs, Joyce Lee has always managed to keep everything under control
and still remain committed to Key Club and the other activities that she is
involved in. Joyce has been a valuable and committed member of our club
for the past three years and has donated countless hours of service. This
month alone she completed a whopping 25 hours! Everyone was amazed
when she brought in 50 cans and over 1,000 can tabs, which she had been
collecting all year, and donated them to our club. Despite her busy
schedule, she always manages to consistently come to meetings and attend
events.
Aside from excelling in her five AP classes, Joyce is also on the
Track team at our school and devotes countless volunteer hours to her
church. Although she has a lot going on, she always makes time to answer
my questions and put her Calculus skills to work to help me when I get
stuck on my Precalculus homework. Joyce is an incredibly hard-working,
smart, kind, and caring person, and I am glad to call her my friend.
Congratulations Joyce!
