Natalie's Lemonade Stand

Lemonade stand
Our students do amazing things. When a car accident tragically ended the life of JMB senior Natalie Insley on Aug. 2, a group of Northwestern Elementary children quickly acted on the urge to do something to help by running Natalie's Lemonade Stand in their neighborhood. People and businesses came from near and far to support Natalie's family by buying lemonade and cupcakes and making donations. In just a few days, the stand raised around $20,000 to assist the family with expenses, and gave people a place to gather to comfort each other and share memories of Natalie. We are so proud of these students for their compassion and leadership, and appreciative of everyone who supported their effort.

So another stingray installed to track you and steal your data from your phone, and of course why not put it on the school grounds, since it is the kids data you want more than anything, what better way to get it... Since kids don't care about being watched or tracked or having their info online anyway... And since most people are stupid, including some parents, they won't even know and when you tell them, they will call you a conspiracy theorist becasue they are to lazy to research it on their own, and rather live in denial...

Should a group like the NAACP that lacks diversity have access to students?

Don't worry a bit about the radiation emitted by the cell tower.
It won't hurt anyone.
A little bit of radiation is OK.
Ditto for the immunizations . . . a little bit of mercury is OK.

Happy Happy Happy

Just how much BS and other crap would there be if a group gave white kids stuff only?

A group does give white kids stuff only it's called parents and grandparents .
The group also gives the black kids stuff , it's called taxes.

Oh ok. But all those kids walk around all day with their noses glued to a cell phone screen.
Idiot.

5:32 YES, there would be a media storm, Jessie Jackson and creepy Al Sharpton would be grandstanding. Black Lies Matter would be screaming, "Racists".

Towers are placed on school property to reduce opposition because the tower owner's know people will not publically speak out about their child's school even though the school is benefitting financially while the tower is spying and emitting harmful rays.

This is a win-win for the tax payer, and the school system. It's nice to see private industry placing these towers were it can really help the community and not just make one person rich. Bravo.
