LePort Montessori School Students Donate to Alex's Lemonade Stand

Students hosted a lemonade stand to raise funds and awareness for childhood cancer research

Students at LePort Montessori School Solana Beach in Del Mar recently donated more than $6,000 to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), a national childhood cancer foundation dedicated to funding impactful research, raising awareness, supporting families, and empowering everyone to help cure childhood cancer. To raise money for the organization, campers sold lemonade and various treats to their fellow campers, families, staff, and teachers.

The fundraiser was inspired by two former LePort Montessori students whose younger sister is currently receiving treatment at Rady Children’s Hospital. LePort Montessori School instills a sense of social responsibility at an early age by implementing opportunities for students to learn about the importance of giving back to their communities and helping others in need.
