The 3rd grade class, along with Mrs. Fox, Mrs. Hartshorn, and Mrs. Short, would like to thank everyone who came out and supported these young entrepreneurs. A special thank you to our neighbors at Glenville Health and Rehabilitation for being our first customers, and to the parents for helping support this endeavor.

🍋📚 Calling all families and community members! Get ready for a Lemonade War! 🍋📚
Students in Mrs. Fox's 3rd grade reading classes are currently immersed in 'The Lemonade War' and are gearing up for an exciting project inspired by the book by Jaqueline Davies. They will embark on their own lemonade stand challenge, divided into groups, to compete against their classmates and determine who can sell the most lemonade.
Join us for a fun-filled afternoon where our young entrepreneurs will showcase their business savvy and creativity. Watch as they bring their lemonade stands to life, learning valuable lessons in teamwork, budgeting, and marketing along the way.
Let's support our 3rd graders as they compete in their very own Lemonade War.
