Yesterday I shared information about our "Lemonade Day" Project tied with the book The Lemonade War. NEXT YEAR, I want to step up our game by making this project extend beyond my little classroom. And I discovered The Great Lemonade War, a charitable giving contest to raise money for childhood cancer. How awesome is that? Jacqueline Davies, the author is even affiliated. Read an interview with her here.
All the money goes to Alex's Lemonade Stand, an awesome foundation helping kids who are fighting cancer.
And THAT is totally a great reason to get involved on its own, but the winning school also get a visit from Jacqueline Davies!
So next year we'll be asking for donations for sampling our tasty treats! I'm excited already!
Hi Amy, thanks for posting this and Happy New Year!
