We thought it might be interesting to give you a snapshot of what some schools are doing:

Cheltenham High School has already raised $600 through t-shirt sales (t-shirts were designed by a student) and selling lemons for their lemon tree! Students will be selling lemonade, lemon sticks, lemon squares, lemon cookies and Stacy’s Pita Chips from April 11th to April 25th.

Onekama Middle School will be setting up lemonade stands at lunch, communicating with other groups/schools across the US via the distance learning lab, and also writing to pen pals in Philadelphia. The Student Council members will be visiting classrooms to read a picture book about Alex and her dream to help promote the Lemonade Stands. Here's a photo of students from Onekama during yesterday's event. Check out what Onekama is doing by visiting their website!

Cynwyd Elementary School's first lemonade stand is tonight at 6:30-8pm at Cynwyd School. Their All-School Walk-a-Thon is Wednesday April 18 and they will be selling lemonade from 2:15-2:45pm, on the field. Classes are continually getting pledges for doing Random Acts of Kindness. Cynwyd set-up a First Giving website and has already collected $500 - - before even starting their lemonade stand sales!

Squires Elementary School students thought yesterday's event was "way cool" and are excited to begin their lemonade sales next week!

Penn Wynne Elementary School is waiting to hold their big lemonade stand in June; however, students are collecting soda can tabs for the Ronald Mc Donald House and are participating in the poetry contest, the pen pals, and the blogging!

Wow! What a great website from Onekama Middle School! I loved those photos and your website! It was very cool to see our Lemonade Central from another school's "eye" from way across the US. Keep up the good work! We are all proud of what you all are doing!
