On Friday of last week, J.F. Burns Elementary (where I teach and Ty and Tucker went to school through 4th grade) had a lemonade stand. This is somewhat of a new tradition at our school. The past 2 years the funds raised were donated to Childhood Cancer. This year, they were donated to JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation). I cannot explain the feelings I feel inside about this. It's weird. The fact that people gave money to help children like Tate is unbelievable to me. Our school of K-4th grade children raised almost $700 for JDRF. I am touched beyond belief. It also gave me the opportunity to share Tate's story with 4th graders, and clear up any misunderstandings that they may have about Diabetes.
I want to thank everyone who helped with the Lemonade Stand, donated lemonade, and donated money for a glass of lemonade. I am truly blessed to work in such a wonderful school!!!
