"On Lemonade Day, we did amazing. We made a lot more money than I expected, and learned how to be better entrepreneurs. By the end of the day, we were tired, happy, and proud. I think the hardest part of it all was learning to move outside of your comfort zone. We had to learn to go up and ask people if they wanted to try our lemonade, and not just hide behind our stand."

We did Lemonade Day because we wanted to successfully earn money to donate to a great cause like Cedar Lake Lodge.  Another reason is that we wanted to learn how to become a great entrepreneur and one day run an amazing business of our own.  Hopefully as a result we could represent our city and our school by learning the way of an entrepreneur and giving back to our community.
