Hello from Hopewell Elementary!
Odessa Kilpatrick Elementary School in Katy, Texas has been in existence for 5 years. We have an Australian theme throughout the school. Koalas are our mascots. A couple of years ago we grew so fast that we had the largest population of any elementary school in the entire state of Texas. (Over 1600 students).
Here are a couple of pictures showing students receiving the “Boomerang Award” which is awarded to children who do an exceptional job of following our rules, treating others kindly, and exhibiting the character traits we value.
East Bradford Elementary is located in historic West Chester, Pennsylvania. East Bradford is one of the ten elementary schools in West Chester Area School District. East Bradford has grades kindergarten through fifth.
West Chester Area School District is located in a 75-square-mile suburban, urban, and rural area in central Chester County. West Chester Borough is the hub of the district. The surrounding townships of East Bradford, East Goshen, West Goshen, West Whiteland, Westtown, and Thornbury, all in Chester County, are part of the district, as is Thornbury Township in adjacent Delaware County.
East Bradford is proud to participate in Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. This is the 3rd year we raised money for Alex’s Lemonade Stand. And this will be the 2nd year we will participate in Alex’s Lemonade Stand Challenge, in which fifth grade, third grade, and kindergarten design different lemonade recipes. The students and staff vote which lemonade they like best. Last year we raised over $1,000.00. This year we hope to raise more and promote good citizenship for all students. Together we can make a difference.

Delaware Valley High School

We are about a mile from the states of New Jersey and New York, which means we have many students in our school who are originally from larger cities. Our students are both dedicated to academics and other extracurricular activities. This year alone DV had state winners in athletics, music, and other clubs. Our school colors are black and white.
Ripley Union Lewis Huntington School District
The Ripley Union Lewis Huntington School District is located in rural Appalachia on the Ohio River in Ripley, Ohio. We have 1200 students in our school district. We are a Learn and Serve America Model School and we complete several service learning projects each year. We are happy to be a part of Alex's Lemonade Stand. Our students plan to have several fundraisers throughout the two week event. One of our fundraisers include auctioning off yellow aprons that our students are going to hand paint. We are conducting a lemonade and dessert event for approximately 80 people. Ripley students are proud of their heritage which is rich and deeply embedded in the Underground Railroad. Our ancestors helped slaves to freedom and our students want to carry on this wonderful tradition by helping free people of cancer.
Rock Lake School
Our school is a K-12 school in rural North Dakota. We currently have sixty students enrolled in our school. In the third and fourth grade we have 12 students. We were introduced to this project though EduTech and Tabitha Lang. Our students were also learning about donations and helping others when this opportunity came along.
Our plans for the two weeks between April 8th and April 24th we will have a coloring contest, researching lemons and lemonade, and finding facts about lemons and lemonade. We will also hold three lemonade stands between the two weeks. The senior class will be donating cookies to sell as well. We received donations from Choice Financial and people in the community for the supplies of our booth. This has become a community project.

I am a GT facilitator at Campbell Elementary which is located just outside of Houston in Sugar Land, Texas. My fourth grade GT class had begun our “Math Around Town” unit, part of the Texas Performance Standard Project. It is a math based unit that poses real world math application problems. It is a difficult unit but through the use of technology, the kids learn a lot and really seem to enjoy it. We had just begun the unit when the Alex’s Lemonade Stand opportunity came my way, which I previously knew nothing about. After just a little bit of research, I really thought that I could apply the lemonade stand concept to our existing unit, and get a bigger buy-in by my students, and at the same time raise school awareness of childhood cancer. When I posed it to the students, they were immediately on board.
This project has been completely student driven. When they were in the initial brainstorming phase, the students determined that specific roles were necessary. Therefore, we have one project manager and a few supervisory roles. The bulk of the students are in the general workforce. Once those roles were decided upon, the real work began. We have already conducted one stand at our school fundraiser and our second and final stand will be held on April 10th. We are thrilled to be a part of this event and I am most excited about how much my students have learned!
