Summer Campers at Chesterbrook Academy® Preschool Donate $2,000+ to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation

Summer campers at Chesterbrook Academy Preschools in the Charlotte area raised more than $2,000 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 giving back to their communities and helping others in need.

Chesterbrook Academy Preschool 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.
