The tradition continues at Ridgeway Elementary School (RES) today as the second grade classes set up refreshment and snack stands in the school courtyard to raise money to support the fight against childhood cancer.
Students read the infamous story of Alex’s Lemonade Stand in classes and then got right to work on their fundraising mission. They developed business and marketing plans, learned about entrepreneurship, put their math and science skills to the test as they created the perfect lemonade to sell. Today the arrived to school and got right to work, setting up their stands for the big sale!
Students took turns working the lemonade stand, each assigned a job. Some worked as a greeter and cashier, while others poured and served lemonade and cookies. The donation was a dollar but some families and staff members generously donated much more in support.
Second grade classes will be selling lemonade to their fellow students and staff members throughout the day. Thank you to everyone who is stopping by. We can’t wait to hear how much they raised. Way to go Ridgeway! Excellence by Example!
