Lakeport Elementary students plan May 19 bake sale for St. Jude's

LAKEPORT, Calif. – Almost everyone knows who Kid President is after his famous “Pep Talk” that encouraged the world to be more awesome.

This March, Kid President put out his first-ever press conference and he called for everyone around the world to make the world more awesome for children. One class at Lakeport Elementary responded.

Students discussed the ways that the world could be not-so awesome and brainstormed a variety of ways that they could change that.

Some students suggested that they work to provide medicine to children who might not be able to afford it.

Another student suggested that the class concentrate on making blankets for children who live in places where heating was an issue.

After a series of brainstorming and research sessions, Ms. Peart’s third graders decided that they wanted to raise money to donate to St. Jude’s Hospital by hosting a bake sale at the school’s Open House night, Thursday, May 19.

St. Jude’s Hospital is a place where children with cancer and their parents can receive treatment and support.

Parents are donating their time and talents to whip up some delightful treats.

So, if you’re in the neighborhood, swing on by Lakeport Elementary School, pick up a baked good, and contribute to a worthy cause.

Open House is Thursday, May 19 between 6:30 and 8 p.m.

If you’ve got the spirit of giving, but not a sweet tooth, visit https://shop.stjude.org/GiftCatalog/index.do to contribute in your own way.
