VIRGINIA â Lessons in marketing, finance, entrepreneurship, along with team- and character-building, aim to reach far beyond the classroom for middle schoolers at Marquette Catholic School this month.
Fifth through seventh graders have spent the semester working together to plan a special Lemonade Day, set for May 12.
The day will not only offer sweet refreshments and snacks sold at stands set up around the community â but also it is an opportunity to give back to those in need.
Proceeds will go to Billâs House, a shelter in Virginia for people experiencing homelessness, and to fund Blessing Bags, which Marquette students make for people who are homeless.
