First Full Week of Lemonade Sales!

Happy first full week of the Alex's Virtual Lemonade Stand project! We're absolutely astounded by what your schools are doing and how much of a difference each of you are making. We also celebrate GLOBAL YOUTH SERVICE DAY this week, so please keep that in mind as you are working on this project!

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!

Because the weather today is so gloomy, we thought it might cheer you up to see what some schools are doing:

Cynwyd Elementary: Last Thursday, Cynwyd School held their first Alex’s Lemonade Stand. 5th grade students worked at the stand in shifts and also served lemonade at the Ice Cream Social held at the same time. We raised $235.25. Adding that to our online donations and classroom Random Acts of Kindness change jars, our total is now $854.35. We have increased our goal from the original 500 to $1,200. Please continue to support Team Cynwyd as we strive to reach our new goal and continue to make a difference!

To make the Cynwyd students aware of the upcoming walk-a-thon, 5th graders have been going into the other classrooms, telling about the Alex’s Lemonade Stand project, reading the book, Alex and the Amazing Lemonade Stand and explaining the walk-a-thon.

Delaware Valley High School: DVHS students are running a lemonade stand on April 24th at Delaware Valley 9/10 and 11/12 High School, on April 25th at Delaware Valley Middle School, and on April 26th at Delaware Valley Elementary School. We will be holding them during all school lunches as well as collecting donations from all teachers and families in the district.

Avon Grove Intermediate School is hosting a Lemonade Carnival next week from Tuesday, April 24th through Friday, April 27th. We can't wait to see the pictures, Avon Grove!

Don't forget to send us pictures and updates about what your school is doing! We'll post them in our LEMON NEWS and on the blog!

Don't forget about upcoming deadlines!
