Aaron Ward, age 9, and his neighbor and friend Troy Moran, age 8, held a lemonade and bake sale in Cooperdale on Saturday, Sept. 8 to raise money for Aaron’s Uncle Jim Ashcraft, who was hurt in an oil field accident and is in the Ohio State University Medical Center.
The boys raised $300 selling lemonade, cookies, bread and even some green
peppers. Aaron’s parents are Josh and Kelly Ward. The boys enthusiastically
waved to passersby to get them to stop and help Uncle Jim.

The book was being read by the whole school as part of the One Book, One
School program. Each night students and their families read assigned
chapters and they were asked trivia questions about the reading that
involved lemonade stand contests between a brother and a sister. Students
earned a minute of extra recess for each question they got right.
