Edmonton students hold lemonade stand to support families in need
Students from Anne Fitzgerald Catholic Elementary School spent Saturday collecting food donations for families in need.
This is the second year the school has held a lemonade stand to collect food donations to help fight food insecurity in their community.
'They thought it would be a great way to bring in some food donations, have a fun day with the community and then create food hampers that could help support some of our families over the summer months,' said Anne Fitzgerald principal Susanna Nigro.
Nigro said the event teaches the kids important organizational skills and how to be a good citizen.
The cool, wet weather prompted a slight shift in plans, but Nigro said it didn't dampen spirits.
'If anything, it's given them a little bit of extra energy today,' she said. 'Didn't phase them at all … it's a really beautiful event for them.'
