What a fantastic week!

What a fantastic week! There have been walk-a-thons, carnivals, poetry slams - - and of course, some fabulous lunchtime lemonade stands! We also launched our poetry contest - - and one assistant principal found himself in a sticky situation (duct-tape sticky, that is).

We've also launched the LEMONCAST - - our project Podcast! Have a listen! We'd like to invite ALL OF YOU to create a podcast episode (even if you didn't sign up for the Lemoncast Project!). Have your class create a short podcast and email it to Tom McGee at mcgeet@lmsd.org. Tom will upload your LEMONCAST episode to the server. Don't forget to subscribe!

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

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

Here are some of the great things schools are doing

East Bradford Elementary School: East Bradford held their Lemonade Taste Challenge this week - - and Liz Scott came as a guest!

Cheltenham High School: Thursday's totals reflect money raised through a Poetry Slam (held on March 23rd) and the Cheltenham Educators Association donations.

Cynwyd School: Cynwyd School celebrated "Making a Difference" with a school wide walk-a-thon. All 466 student and their teachers walked the 1/5 mile track for 1/2 hour. Children had done "random acts of kindess" receiving money to donate to Alex's Lemonade Stand. The total raised is not yet know as contributions are still coming in.

Williamstown High School: Students sold lemonade and paper lemons again Thursday during all lunch periods. They can't wait to see our Assistant Princpal Mr. Deal stuck to the wall today! They are selling 1 yard of duck tape for $1. Students hope all that all of the students and staff participate... Pictures will be sent!!
