Schools are doing some pretty cool things!

Things seem to be really going well this week and we've been getting reports on some amazing activities you all are doing! Read about them below. And be sure to check your email later today for instructions for next week's celebration videoconference event!

Here are the fundraising totals thus far, as reported by some of our schools:


Can you believe that we've already raised MORE than last year!? $3,597.64! That's incredible!

Remember to submit your daily fundraiser report any day that you sell lemonade!

Here are some of the great things schools are doing

St. Charles School: St. Charles students are hosting a virtual lemonade stand by selling “lemons” Students may write their own names on the lemons; in memory or a loved one; or in honor of someone. These lemons are hung on lemon trees in each wing of the school

One of St. Charles' own is currently undergoing radiation treatment. Yellow and red ribbons are sold for a $1.00 each and tied on the trees outside school in support of our friend Nick. (Yellow representing lemons and red representing Nick’s fantastic red hair… and you thought it was because their school colors are red and yellow!)

East Bradford Elementary School: East Bradford has their "Great Lemonade Challenge" tomorrow! They will have three grade levels competing for who has the best tasting Lemonade. $1.00 for a sampler of three.

Cheltenham High School: Besides selling lemonade, the Cheltenham Educators' Association held a Yellow Day on April 11th. Teachers wore yellow and contributed $5.00 towards Alex's Lemonade Stand. So far, they have collected $630.00 through CEA.

Williamstown High School: On Thursday, Williamstown High School Students took donations for yellow ribbons and received $148.16 in donations. On Friday they sold lemonade, soft pretzels and paper lemons for students to write their messages and names on. They raised $327.62 on Friday. On Monday, they sold lemonade and paper lemons and raised $186.21. So far they have collected $661.99 for Alex! They are looking forward to duck taping our Assistant Principal on Friday! (Williamstown, we want to see pictures of this!)
