My Project

When life gives you lemons... make lemonade! That was the motto that Alex Scott lived by, and it is a positive way that we encourage our students to face all of their problems!

Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation is a charity that has raised over 200 million dollars to help children and families affected by cancer, and my students are eager and excited to be part of this fight!

My students and I came across Alex’s incredible story earlier this year when we were learning about children who have made a meaningful difference in the world. My students fell in love with Alex and knew they wanted to be involved in her mission to change the lives of children with childhood cancer.

This spring we are going to host a school-wide lemonade stand, and your generous donations and contributions will allow us to distribute a cup of lemonade to every students in our school! We will collect donations all week, and all proceeds will be donated to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.

My students and I are extremely proud to raise money for this amazing foundation! Alex’s amazing story has helped my students learn the magnitude of making a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Her story has also helped me to create a heartwarming and inspiring learning experience for my students, with life lessons and values that they will continue to share throughout their lifetimes! We are excited to be part of Alex's amazing mission and we appreciate your help and support!
