Formed in 1999 and actively sponsored by our club, this group of 15 to 20 Cedar Heights Middle School students provides over 200 hours of community service annually. In recent years Builders have helped with our Kindergarten Reading Program, Bike Helmets, Senior Conference at the Pavilion and Cedar Heights Clean Up Day.
Cedar Heights Middle School Builders Club held a Food Drive to support the Kitsap Humane Society. They also collected biscuits, chews, bleach, paper towels, batteries, sandwich and gallon-size Ziplog bags, distilled water, cat litter, dog and cat toys, and many other items. (Jan 27-Feb 6, 2023)

TERRIFIC Kids – Cal Kendall, Chair
This program has operated since 2002. All ten elementary schools in the District have participated. During the school year, over 500 students are recognized in special school assemblies for their exemplary school citizenship. The bumper stickers you see around town that read “I’m the Proud Parent of a TERRIFIC Kid” are one part of the awards package Kiwanis presents to each TERRIFIC Kid.
“TERRIFIC” represents the following achievements and is an acronym for:
T =Thoughtful E = Enthusiastic R = Respectful R = Responsible I = Inclusive F = Friendly I = Inquisitive C= Capable
Students work with their classroom teacher to establish goals to improve behavior, peer relationships, attendance or school work.
