I pledge on my honor to uphold to objects of KIWIN'S; to build my home, school, and community, to serve my Nation and God and combat all forces which tend to undermine these institutions. *KIWIN'S Motto* "We Build" *KIWIN'S Colors* Blue : Unwavering Character Yellow : Service White : Purity Why is KIWIN'S written in all caps and an apostrophe? While some claim KIWIN'S is grammatically incorrect, it is ALWAYS spelled in caps with an apostrophe. KIWIN'S is not an acronym, However it is written in all caps with the apostrophe to show its unique and individual spirit. The apostrophe is an accent to help KIWIN'S standout, for we are not like and other youth sponsored organization. When written in all caps, KIWIN'S certainly is conspicuous. This represents how KIWIN'S are prominent in the school and the community. The work "Kiwin" is the diminutive of the word "Anokiwin," which translates to "people, men and women, working together in service." It is derived from the same Otchipew Indian language as Kiwanis. |
