K-Kids  

K-Kids is the youngest and fastest growing service organization for elementary students worldwide. These clubs are ideally suited for students in grades 1 through 5 (ages 6 to 12).

K-Kids is a "student-led" community-service organization, which operates under school regulations and draws its members from the student body. K-Kids is unique because local Kiwanis clubs, composed of leading business and professional people of the community, sponsor it.

The K-Kids' motto is "We Build," and its objectives are:

• To provide opportunities for working together in service to school and community
• To develop leadership potential
• To foster and development of strong moral character
• To encourage loyalty to school, community, and nation

There are approximately ten K Kids Clubs in Iowa (nearly 20 in Nebraska) with three of those in Division 16 and sponsored by the Downtown Club—Greenwood Elementary School, Pleasant Hill Elementary School (organized in 2005), and Windsor Elementary School (preliminary organization began in early 2006).

Downtown Club members provide support to our K Kids Clubs. Paul Strayer is our club liaison to the Greenwood Club; Michelle Wall, the Pleasant Hill Club; and Tina Potthoff and Lois Smith Underwood, the new Windsor Elementary School Club.
