Skyping with Alex's Lemonade Stand

Today we had the privilege of Skyping with the mother of Alex Scott of Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.  She spoke with the students about the power of philanthropy.  

Alex's mom, Liz Scott, shared her daughter Alex's story about how, at 4 years old, she decided to have a lemonade stand to raise money for children suffering with cancer.  (She herself was suffering with cancer and lost her battle at the age of 8.)

The students asked some great questions and hopefully were inspired to take action to help others!

Skype Lesson: California State Quarter

Today we had the opportunity to Skype with Garrett Burke, the designer of the California state quarter!  

He has written a book called Quarterama which details the meaning behind each design on every state quarter. Last week, Mr. Burke SO generously dropped off a copy of his book along with a signed certificate with an actual CA state quarter on it!  

His book is available to purchase and would be a GREAT book to keep out in your family or living room.  It is FULL of amazing information about each state's quarter as well as his journey to being chosen to design California's quarter. You can also purchase a state quarter folder to start collecting them!

Thanks to Mr. Garrett Burke for an awesome learning experience!
