Carrington Academy Preschoolers Donate $1,000+ to Children with Cancer

Summer campers at Carrington Academy preschools in Alpharetta, Braselton, Cumming, and Suwanee recently worked together to raise more than $1,000 for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), a national childhood cancer foundation dedicated to funding impactful research, raising awareness, supporting families, and empowering everyone to help cure childhood cancer. To raise money for the organization, campers sold lemonade and various treats to their fellow campers, families, staff, and teachers. Through this initiative, campers learned the importance of helping children in need.

Carrington Academy instills a sense of social responsibility at an early age by implementing opportunities for students to learn about the importance of giving back to their communities and helping others in need. Its signature Links to Learning preschool curriculum emphasizes social-emotional learning as a stepping stone for kindergarten and beyond. Teachers work with children to help recognize and label emotions in themselves and others, while learning how they fit into their community and the larger world.
