On Friday May 13, students at Lowrance Middle
School set up a lemonade stand to raise money for the fight against childhood
cancer.
Lowrance shares a building with Atkins
Academic & Technology High School and they set up the Squeeze
of Love - Alex’s Lemonade Stand in the hallway of the 500 Building where
students and staff from both schools could stop by for a glass.
“We made $241.70 on Alex’s Lemonade Stand,” said teacher Carrie
Adams. “This money will be going to the Alex Lemonade Foundation to help with
Childhood Cancer Research.”
The lemonade stand also served as a learning
tool.
“The children in our SP/ Exceptional Children's
classrooms are learning about Economics in Social Studies this month,” Adams
said.
In addition to joining the battle against
childhood cancer, the lemonade stand enabled students learn about helping
others “while working on their social skills, math skills, language skills,
turn-taking and functional communication skills.”
