We've already heard from our friends at Hopewell Memorial Junior High School about their project. They sold lemonade at a 7-8th grade dance. They put a glow stick in each cup to make them more attractive to their buyers. It worked! They've also sold lemonade and raffle tickets for a "Alex's Lemonade Stand" teddy bear during lunches. They had to purchase the supplies from their food service and give them 25% of the profit to be permitted to sell during lunches. Congrats to this fantastic group of students - - who have sold 335 cups of lemonade and raised $236.25 for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation!
