Mrs. Perry's Fourth Grade
LEMONADE WAR IS HAPPENING!!!
You may have heard that the LEMONADE WAR is happening! On Thursday, October 3rd, our students will run a lemonade stand in the front lawn of school! It will run from 10-11 and we will picnic outside afterwards! You are welcome to join us! We will use "lemonade bucks" to purchase lemonade but all cash donations will be donated to GreenHouse Ministries!
Students will take out a business loan from the famous Perry Bank, they will make lemonade and advertising, and will try to outsell their classmates. The business that makes the most profit, is the winner! They will have to calculate all of their earnings and determine the final profit. Students may offer services (ex. hair braiding) or small gifts (ex. old Halloween candy) in order to lure customers but they should remember the experiences of our novel's main characters (Jessie and Evan).
Thank you, Rust family, for donating the pallets to make the stands and thank you, Mr. Perry, for making the stands!
