We are excited to share our plans for another school-wide service project! Our school is going to host our forth lemonade stand to raise money for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. This foundation gives money to help find a cure for childhood cancer. We’ve all been affected by cancer in some way in our lives, so this service project takes on a personal meaning to each of us. This service project is part of a national contest called “The Great Lemonade War.” Students and teachers are invited to read a book called, “The Lemonade War” by Jacqueline Davies. In this story, a brother and a sister have competing lemonade stands to see who can raise the most money. Jacqueline Davis got together with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation to encourage schools and organizations to read the book and take on their own lemonade stand challenge! We have entered the contest again this year, and are eager to get selling! Last year our lemonade stand was able to raise $1,000 in only one week! This year’s goal is $1,500. We would be grateful for any donations that your family would like to buy and donate to our cause beginning NOW. We’ll need lots of cups and powered lemonade mix! For more information, including videos about the cause, you can visit the website we have created: http://thelemonadewar.wikispaces.com/.  Please share this cause with your friends and family who might also be interested in supporting us. We’re excited to do something worthwhile to help others, and teach our students about being good citizens of our community. Thanks in advance for your support!
