For nearly five months, approximately 75 Alameda High School students interrupted their Sunday morning sleep-in to flip pancakes for a worthy cause...their school.

The students served alongside members of the Belmar Optimists Club in making pancake breakfasts from May 21 to Oct 8 at the Belmar Center's Farmers Market.

The breakfast, sponsored by Whole Foods Market Belmar and the Belmar Optimists, was created to provide support for student activities of Alameda-area schools. The volunteering effort paid off Oct. 19 when members of the Optimists, Lakewood Mayor Steve Burkholder and members of the city council presented a check for $6,000 to Alameda Principal Dr. Shirley Algiene.

In addition, the Belmar Optimist Club plans to offer another $3,000 to student activities of the local elementary and middle schools feeding Alameda.
