We are just 'wowed' here at MAGPI. Many many thanks to all of the students and teachers that made our 2011 Project such a wonderful success! We couldn't have done it with out you.
From our fabulous VJ teams at Southern Lehigh Middle School and Fox Township Elementary, to our guest speakers and performers, to the original song created by Mr. Duane, to all of the lemonade stands you hosted, commercials you created and pie -in-the-face contests you held, ALL OF YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE.
The more than $15,000 that all of your raised will mean wonders for the kids battling pediatric cancer -- and gets us that much closer to a cure. You all are truly superheroes.
Here are the highlights of our 2011 program!
We're editing the final VC program and will post it as soon as it's ready!

We are kids, third grade students at Roundtown Elementary School.
We are little kids with big behaviors. We are polite, responsible, outstanding, understanding, and dependable. We are kids who donated food to the Catholic Harvest Food Pantry for people who can’t afford food.
We will set up a lemonade stand in our cafeteria.
We will collect school supplies to give the children in Iraq.
Paper.

Crayons.
And more.
We will feel proud that we made a difference by helping others feel more comfortable.
We have pride for Alex because she was only four and she made a HUGE difference in our country.
Alex inspired us to make a difference.
We can and WILL make a difference.
You can make a difference too!

What a fantastic two weeks!
All,Thanks so much for a wonderful event today! We are all amazed at what you have done... and the total fundraising amount keeps climbing.... we're near $17,000 and counting!
Your special projects and school-wide events were inspiring. You and your students are quite a creative bunch!
The unedited webstream of the event is available for the next few weeks. Click here and scroll down to "Alex's Lemonade."
Regrettably, one school was unable to join us today because of a technical error on MAGPI's part. We are sincerely sorry that Heritage Junior/Senior High School was unable to take part in today's event. You should know that Heritage has done some truly amazing things to help "Make a Difference!" They collected donatins at lunch to help fund the project and sponsored "Hat Days," where students paid $1 for the privilege of wearing a hat during the school day. The created a "Lemonade Lobby" and sold lemons for $1 each to help decorate the lobby. Three classes (Advanced Foods, Geometry and Econ) baked goods for a bake sale. They held their Lemonade Stand on Friday, April 20th in conjunction with the Heritage Relays Track Meet. Hopefully, they had great weather! All in all, Heritage raised $500 to help further Alex's cause. Congratulations, Heritage! Please send us a video of your experiences to post on the website... we'd really love to hear your own words!
After you have counted your donations....

JUST ANNOUNCED! Congressman Sestak to speak!
As part of the Alex's Virtual Lemonade Stand closing celebration on April 26, 2007, Congressman Joe Sestak will speak with students from the Internet2 Corporate Offices in Washington, D.C.!About Representative Sestak:
Joe Sestak is serving his first-term as the Representative from Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District, which includes most of Delaware County and parts of Chester and Montgomery Counties.
Born and raised in Delaware County, Joe Sestak spent 31 years serving our nation in the U.S. Navy, rising to the rank of three-star Admiral.
Joe Sestak brings to Congress the same dedication and commitment with which he served this country in the Navy. As a member of Congress, Joe is working to strengthen our country's national security - national security that begins at home in the health, education, and economic promise of our people, as well as our defense security. Joe's primary focus is on fixing problems and moving our country forward - not on governing from the left or on the right.
During his distinguished career in the Navy, Joe led a series of operational commands, culminating in the command of the George Washington aircraft carrier battle group, which consisted of 30 U.S. and allied ships, 15,000 sailors, and close to 100 aircraft. Under Joe's watch, the George Washington battle group conducted combat operations in Afghanistan and precursor operations to the war in Iraq.
Joe also served in President Clinton's White House as the Director for Defense Policy on the National Security Council. After 9/11, he was selected to serve as the first Director of "Deep Blue," the Navy's anti-terrorism unit where he worked to establish new strategies for the Navy to fight the Global War on Terror.
After graduating from Cardinal O'Hara High School, Joe followed in the footsteps of his father, a Navy captain who served in World War II, and attended the U.S. Naval Academy, where he graduated second in his class. Joe also holds a MPA, and a PhD in Political Economy and Government, from Harvard University.
Joe has one brother and six sisters. He and his wife, Susan, have a daughter, Alexandra.
More information about Representative Sestak can be found at: http://www.sestakforcongress.com/.
