Some more school reports...

Hope you're all excited about tomorrow's wrap-up videoconference! Wait until you hear how much we have raised to help fight pediatric cancer!

Here are some of the REALLY COOL things schools have done as part of this project. We can't wait to hear more during tomorrow's event:

Brady Elementary
We sold 576 bottles of lemonade today and had $58.00 in donations. Our students, parents and members of our community really came through and supported Alex's dream.

Bushkill Elementary
We had a larger lemonade stand at our high school play. Students baked "lemony" baked goods in math classes and the parents and faculty donated as well. We were a hit!

Campbell Elementary
We have held two school-wide stands and more students have held a stand in their front yard. We have received numerous donations and expect our total to rise. Our goal is to exceed 1000 dollars!

Charleroi Area Middle School
This is just a quick update on our Lemonade Stand events for your online blog. Last week we held several different events to help raise money. We started selling "Lemon Drops," short messages students could purchase to send to friends or favorite teachers in the April edition of our school newspaper. We also held penny wars. Each homeroom had a jar decorated with their homeroom teacher making their best "sour lemon face." Students put pennies in the jar they wanted to win and quarters, nickels, dimes, and dollars in the jars they wanted to lose. Lastly, we held our 2nd annual Lemon Ball in the school gymnasium on Friday, April 18. Students made a donation to dance, play games, and hang out. We also set up our lemonade stand. We went through 48 gallons of lemonade (donated by our local grocery stores!). All of our events were tremendously successful. We were able to raise $1,695.00! That doesn't even include the money donated to the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation through their gift shop! (We sold Alex t-shirts.) We are so proud to be part of such a special project and helping to cure pediatric cancer one cup at a time!

ELCO High School
ELCO HS will not be participating on Thursday. The conference equipment is in use by another group and our students have missed so much class time we can not afford to take another day out of class. We will be completing our project in May. The students are sponsoring a Cell Phone Day. Students would be allowed to use their cell phones in the hall between classes and at lunch. For this privilege they must buy a lemon sticker in advance. They will also receive free lemonade at lunch on Cell Phone Day if they have their sticker visible. In addition, the students will be soliciting donations from the staff to create a Lemon Tree in the main hall during our Spring Fling week in May.

Fairfield Middle School
We can't sell lemonade because of our health and wellness policy but have sold healthy snacks to raise money!

K. D. Markley Elementary
The total amount KD Markley Elementary School has raised so far is $1484.53 and we still have more money coming in from a student and a business owner.

The money has been raised in a combined effort of numerous events such as:

• Wear Yellow and donate a dollar day
• 2 fourth grader elementary lemonade stands at school functions
• Individual lemonade stands at home by some first graders
• First graders School store selling items with a lemon theme
• A business owner has volunteered to donate an undeclared amount for each "Act of Kindness" lemon that is posted on our walls.

Sinking Springs Elementary
With this amount, it brings our school's total to $1617.27! What an exciting total for our final report. Congratulations to everyone for a job well done!
