Book Club Part 2

Lexi's Summer Book Club met to discuss the second book, Lemonade War, today.  We had an even better discussion about the book (those girls felt STRONGLY about a few of the characters!) than the first time and the girls made "comment cards" for each other as in the book.

For the culminating activity, we had a lemonade stand with the money donated to charity as was done in the book.  Each girl chose a charity they are interested in and presented it to the other girls: two animal shelters, the Ronald McDonald House, and Heifer International.

The girls' efforts were supported by so many friends and family members!  They sold out of lemonade (2.5 gallons!) and cookies in just one hour and earned $21.25 for each charity!  Thank you!  Thank you!

The sale begins (with a photo bombing brother!)

Even the girls' Kindergarten and 2nd grade teacher,
Mrs. Z, drove across town to buy lemonade!
