Look at what Alex's Lemonade stands are doing across the country and all the community fundraising that schools do. When I was in elementary school, we had a United Way campaign and the opportunity to buy paper poppies before Memorial Day from the American Legion Auxiliary.

As I read this aloud, Sophie's answer was "put in a college fund", prompting the "universal smile and sigh of relief" from Matt and me :) <br /><br />It makes me wonder -- kids seem to have a more global view of life and community than we did growing up. Is it because of where we live (not that we're affluent, but HC is affluent)? When Kevin was in elementary school, he went to his first birthday party that took up a collection for a shelter, rather than gifts for the birthday girl. In March, we went to our neighbor's 2-year-old's birthday party, which was a fundraiser for the Ham Co Humane Society (although, we still brought Cooper a basketball!).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
