At Mom\u2019s House, a new school year means so much more than new school supplies and new clothes.\u00a0A new school year represents \u2013 a new beginning, new hope, new opportunities to make dreams come true \u2013 \u201cdreams of a brighter future for the young moms and their children.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Thursday, August 11, the Mom\u2019s House preschoolers and former Mom\u2019s House preschool graduates hosted their very own Lemonade Stand, from 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s event was held in the school\u2019s parking lot and local businesses who sponsored the event displayed their decorated lemonade stands and their help to the young families in the community. In addition, the young mothers who are current clients and former clients volunteered their time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/em>\u201cThis is an opportunity for our children to display their communication and leadership skills,\u201d said Christina Rodriguez, executive director. \u201cEarly learning is critical to families born into poverty and we work hard to ensure each child develops accordingly which is another layer of our program. Our hope is that our community will stop by for a few minutes to encourage their confidence and get a cold glass of lemonade!\u201d<\/p>\n

Amazon was the presenting sponsor of this event.<\/p>\n
