McFun for Franklin School McTeachers

On Thursday, October 10th, Franklin School held a McTeacher's Night at the McDonald's on Northwest Highway in Park Ridge. Teachers took over the restaurant serving up delicious meals to students and families to raise money for the school. Thirty five teachers each worked for forty five minute shifts. The McTeacher jobs included; drive-thru teachers, greeters, teachers cleaning the lobby, front counter teachers, drink teachers, teachers clearing tables, teachers on the ice cream machine, and teachers making smoothies. Franklin school had it all covered, and the families all had a great time! Special thank you goes out to Cathie Hirsch for organizing the Franklin School McTeacher's Night.

The School plans to use the money raised to go into the PTA fund for future programming. Lots of students, teachers, families and friends came out to support the school. It was an outstanding show of support and as a result all the kids came to see their teachers work at McDonald's. A special appearance by Ronald McDonald helped make this fundraiser a memorable evening.Families enjoyed taking pictures with and talking with Ronald McDonald. It was a great night!

Ronald's appearance was courtesy of the Park Ridge McDonald's owner/operator's, the Schenk Family. For more information about events provided by the Park Ridge McDonald's contact the Park Ridge McDonald's Community Relations Director, Julie.Travers@comcast.net.
