In the past, the club has made and donated blankets to childrens hospitals, but with COVID-19, they are not accepting donations. Insted, they were kindly donated to a fellow GHS freshman, Abbey Ehrler, who has a blanket making hobby, and she is going to donate them from there. “I was so thankful to receive so many blankets for my collection,” said Abbey Ehrler ‘24. “It makes me happy to see others doing what I love to do and spend a lot of my time on. Thank you to the Galena Key Club for all of your hard work.”

Nicole Johnson does an Italian pas de chat across the stage with an empty house. Theaters are starting to open back up now so Johnson, and other dancers, will have a live audience again. “There is nothing quite like performing in front of a live audience,” explains Nicole. “The support from the audience elevates the excitement and energy of the dancers.” Jenna and Nicole can’t wait to perform for crowds again and hope that if you bought a ticket, you enjoy their production of Midsummer Night’s Dream.
