SGE Student Lemonade and Treats Stand

Four first graders from South Greenville Elementary came up with the idea to have a Lemonade and Treats Stand to make money for their school.   For weeks, these girls made posters, fliers and lists of all the treats to be made.  We hung the posters around the school and the neighborhood. They gave fliers to family, friends and neighbors. They sold pink lemonade, cookies, brownies, lollipops, popsicles and rice krispy treats. The event was held on Wednesday, September 30 from 3:30-5:30. They raised $605.00. All proceeds are being used to provide school uniforms for those in need. The students learned the importance of giving back to their school and community.
