Whether one makes a big contribution, a small donation or simply volunteer work, every tiny thing — or individual — aids when it comes to charity. In Dawson Independent School District, three small women are helping create significant changes for other children.
Third grade pupils Ayleen Renteria, Caisyn Kennedy and Harlee Farish are selling lemonade per week for 50 cents each. All the money that they earn from their earnings go directly to St. Judes Children’s Research Hospital. Their instructor, Dianne Hopson, had nothing but praise about that which they set out to perform.
“We have a class every Friday morning referred to as ‘Genius Hour’,” Hopson said. “The children get to choose their genius and they do research, projects, or anything goes together with their thought. These 3 women decided they were planning to raise money for St. Jude’s.”
The women were originally attempting to sell lemonade after college, but Dawson’s cafeteria woman Lori James urged them to sell throughout the junior high and higher school lunches. They’ll sell the lemonade until the conclusion of the week, either during lunch and after school outside from the pupil pick-up area.
“That was their idea,” Hopson said. “They pioneered it, planned for it, and wore me down about the day that they were planning to sell lemonade. They were so excited to donate money to help children that need it they are a gung-ho group of women.”
One could easily tell how excited the women were to get the whole project, as they were keen to answer questions while interviewing them — speaking over each other in a hurry to reply.
“We got the idea during ‘Professional Hour’ where we choose what we want to perform,” said Kennedy.
“We must create it ourselves and demonstrate what we do into the class,” Farish rapidly added.
“We felt sad for the children at St. Jude’s, which they may not have enough money to find the assistance they need,” Renteria said in the end.
There are plans to attempt a mathathon after Spring Break for their following Genius Hour, where the women accept lots of money for every math problem they are paid to workout. Whether they get the issue right or wrong, the women will still work out the problem. They would like to continue donating to St. Jude’s to get lots of their upcoming Guru Hour ideas.
“we would like to run a cookie rack next time we do so, or continue the lemonade,” said Kennedy and Farish.
If you would like to help the women with their charity work, then visit Dawson School after regular school hours and buy some lemonade prior to the conclusion of the week. If you would like to pass them to contribute to St. Jude, get in touch with their instructor Dianne Hopson.
