Students at Chesterbrook Academy preschool Fair Lakes in Fairfax recently donated more than $300 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. To raise funds for the organization, students hosted a Father’s Day car show featuring classic cars, as well as “cars” students made from recycled materials. Throughout June and July, students also held a weekly lemonade stand and bake sale to raise additional funds for St. Jude, which helps save the lives of children battling childhood cancer and other deadly diseases. Through this initiative, students learned the importance of helping kids in need.
