Guess what? Our Kick-Off Videoconference is TOMORROW!

We're looking forward to seeing you and your students during tomorrow's Kick-Off Videoconference for Alex's Virtual Lemonade Stand! Our program will begin promptly at 11:00 AM and all sites should be connected by 10:40 AM EDT. If you're not an interactive videoconference participant, don't worry! We'll have the archive up on iTunes as a podcast by the end of the day.

During tomorrow's event, we will hear from Liz Scott (Alex's Mom) from Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, and childhood cancer survivor and Foundation hero Cameron Robertson. Liz Scott will also be doing a special reading of "Alex and the Amazing Lemonade Stand" and you will have a chance to view the "Make A Difference" Commercial Contest entries!

Remember, each school will have 45 seconds to shine during our virtual spirit rally - - so be ready! We will be calling on schools in alphabetical order during this portion of the videoconference. Please be ready and in place to present BEFORE we call on your school (this means student presenters should be next to the microphone with the camera framed on them before we call on your school - - all you should need to do is unmute!). If you have submitted a commercial, this does NOT count as your spirit presentation. We will still be calling on your school live during the program to introduce themselves. If you are planning to show any multimedia during your 45 seconds, please let us know ASAP.

Do your students have a question about Alex or her Lemonade Stand foundation? Would you like them answered "on air" during tomorrow's videoconference? POST A COMMENT HERE and our VJs will ask them to Alex's mom during the program.

Keep your students engaged during the videoconference by playing our kick-off videoocnference SCAVENGER HUNT! We've posted the scavenger hunt workshop (and corresponding teacher key) on the project website. Before the closing videoconference, have students use their answers to create individual lemon bingo boards (also on the website). We'll be calling out squares during our closing videoconference - - first student to make an L in your classroom, wins!
