WMCTC Kids Help Benefit Alex's Lemonade Stand

A look at what's going on at our local vocational school.

The following information was submitted by Cindy Prindle, Student Success Coordinator at the :

Every year has a State Initiative to help a charity within our community; this year the State Initiative is Alex's Lemonade Stand. From March 5 - 16,  SkillsUSA held their State Initiative for Alex's Lemonade Stand with the help of a competition between the shop/lab areas with  “Money Wars.” The students each had their own container when they first entered the school; they would put pennies into their container to “add” to their total and put silver coins into other shop/lab areas container to sabotage their totals.

Whoever had the highest total at the end of the two weeks would win a Pizza Party. The students/faculty (of course they were involved, too) did an outstanding, awesome, wonderful job with raising money for this wonderful charity. The students/faculty raised $1,630.70. A check will be sent to ALSF (Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation) from WMCTC. Awesome Job Wildcats!
