What a FANTASTIC KICK OFF! These schools have GREAT Lemon Spirit!

Wow. Many thanks to all of the schools who joined us for the kick-off videoconference of the 2011 Alex's Virtual Lemonade Stand project! It was lemon-azing.

Schools from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Montana, New Jersey and even as far as Taiwan showed off their lemon spirit. Our VJs from Fox Township Elementary School in Kersey, Pennsylvania showed us how EVERYONE can be a superhero, the lead singers of Milkshake gave a shout out to all of our participants, Liz Scott from Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation shared Alex and the Amazing Lemonade Stand, and Mikayala Andrews (ALSF Hero - - and one of ours too!) talked about her winning battle with childhood cancer.

Let's just say... everyone ROCKED.

Then came the spirit rally, where all schools had a chance to show us just how excited they were about the project. There were skits, songs, poems, dances, cheers, and whole lotta yellow. While everyone did a fantastic job, these schools nabbed lemon spirit awards this year:

  • Fox Township Elementary
  • National Dali High School
  • Moreland Hills Elementary
  • Phoenixville Area High School
  • Fernwood Avenue Middle School
