Today was the second annual 5th Grade Lemonade War! The students just finished reading "The Lemonade War" and learning about economics. Using what they've learned, each group had to make a business plan, research prices, and develop a recipe. Our winning group was Sweet and Sour Lemonade, run by Januari Burnett, Bentley Blackburn, and Ellie Patrick! Mrs. Rivera is incredibly proud of everyone's hard work. Great job, 5th grade!
