This has absolutely nothing to do with breast augmentation or breast implants but I wanted to share what I have discovered about this really cool organization - The Lollipop Theater. Our daughter is in charge of her 6th grade class' community service project and this is the group they chose to help. The Today Show did a really nice piece on them a couple of weeks ago - you can check that out on their website too. The 6th Graders Community Service Project ~ Putting Smiles on the Faces of Hospitalized Kids! We have chosen The Lollipop Theater (www.lollipoptheater.org) as the target of our fundraiser this year and what better way to raise money for The Lollipop Theater than to sell lollipops! The Lollipop Theater takes new movies (not on DVD yet) into children’s hospitals and sets up a Premier Showing for children and their families who cannot leave the hospital ~ and if the kids are too sick to come down to the showing, they try to have extra copies that can be taken into that child’s hospital room. It is something we all take for granted, being able to go see a movie, but for these kids and their families an afternoon escape to Hogwarts or a sky full of Meatballs ….. it means the world! During the week of October 5th – 9th – please send a couple of extra dollars with your kids so they can buy some lollipops and help sick children be able to go to a movie just like your kids get to go to a movie. Even if you hit a matinee or have a coupon, taking your family to the movies means spending at least $10.00 – so please, send a few of those dollars our way so we can help kids and their families who can’t leave the hospital to go see a movie – if we can help them forget the hardships of their illness even for an afternoon and put a smile on a few faces that haven’t had a reason to smile in a long time – isn’t it worth a couple of dollars???? So please look for us at lunch on October 6th and 8th and after school all week long by the play ground – send a couple of dollars with your child and put a smile directly onto another child’s face! Thank you for your help! The 6th Grade Class
