4th Grade Lemonade Stand for Charity – Proceeds to River Valley Riders
Thank you, everyone, for your amazing support of our 4th Grade Lemonade Stand for Charity! The weather could have been better – but the smiles and generosity from all the parents, students, and teachers made this year another smashing success!
The LSFC raised $830.54! The 4th graders voted to give the money to a charity for animals – and the River Valley Riders (https://rivervalleyriders.org/) received our check in person on Monday. The founder herself was able to come to school to meet the kids! What a special day!
A special shout-out to the amazing volunteers who came in to mix lemonade and set up the stand when the teachers were busy teaching! You were an invaluable part of the LSFC team. Thank you SO much!
Together we live the Fruits of the Spirit with our kids!
