Ok, my daughter and a friend decided to sell cookies and juice to raise money for Haiti. I was a little surprised at first but thought it was a good opportunity to teach why we give to those in need. They were awesome! They raised $60!!! Who makes $60 dollars at a lemonade stand. So proud of her. Anyway, a news guy came by from our little local news station and did a little story on them. Here it is. You can also go to: http://www.klewtv.com/news/local/82003807.html and watch their video.


By Greg Meyer Watch the video LEWISTON - Monday was known as a Day On, Not a Day Off for volunteers all over the country.

In Lewiston, two little volunteers were helping their schools raise money for earthquake victims in Haiti.

"We're selling stuff and giving the money to Haiti because of the earthquake they had," said cookie-seller Jena. "Both of our schools are going to get money for Haiti."

Jena, a first grader at Webster and Lilly, who's in kindergarten at McSorley, were spending their holiday at their Tang and cookie stand.

Students around the Valley are helping raise money for the relief effort and these two were encouraged by the response they got.

"We got four people at one time," said Jena. "One person, he took four cookies, two crackers and one Tang."

These kids were not only keeping track of inventory; they were also following good sanitation practices by keeping the cookies covered.

"We don't need one for the crackers because they're wrapped" said Jena. "They're wrapped in something."

No word on how much the pair raised Monday.
