When one runs a family business like Made From RI, one never knows what will happen when the phone rings. Is this call a customer, a potential vendor, or a robocall? On a recent late afternoon, we had the pleasure of speaking with Patricia Cousineau, the Principal of Warwick Neck Elementary School in Warwick, Rhode Island.  

Patricia Cousineau, for those who do not know is not just the Principal of Warwick Neck Elementary School, she is also Rhode Island's Principal of the Year!  (Learn more at this Warwick Beacon article link: Principal of Year takes learning to Heart). Principal Cousineau was in need of something to represent Rhode Island at a conference celebrating all of the 60 Principals of the Year from across the United States, Panama and Ecuador in Washington, DC.

Principal Cousineau selected Del's Frozen Lemonade Packets (always Refreshingly Different) to display and distribute as being representative of Rhode Island. She obviously displayed superior teaching skills in not only showing how to make the Del's Frozen Lemonade, but she also told the story of Del's Lemonade and most important of all, showed that one NEVER drinks Del's with a straw!

This is what we like to do with Made From RI. We love putting Rhode Island's message in the minds of people outside of Rhode Island. We thank Principal Cousineau for this opportunity! 

And what makes this writer/owner happy as well? I am a (long ago) product of Warwick Neck Elementary School. This is a "win" for the children of Warwick Neck Elementary School, the families of Warwick Neck, Warwick, Rhode Island, and Made From RI!
