McFun for School District 102 at the Wheeling McDonald's

On Wednesday, January 13th, Tripp, Pritchett, Meridian and Aptakisic Schools held a very successful McTeacher's Night at the McDonald's in Wheeling on Lake Cook Rd.. The restaurant was full of families supporting the school as well as waiting to see their teachers, and a visit from Ronald McDonald.

Teachers overtook the restaurant serving up delicious meals to students and families to raise money for District 102 PTO. The McTeacher jobs included, greeting guests, cleaning the lobby, working the front counter, serving drinks, clearing tables, selling pies, serving ice cream, and even dressing up in a pie costume.

District 102 McTeachers had it all covered, and the families enjoyed a spectacular evening. The District PTO plans to use the money raised to go into the fund to support the schools. Lots of students, teachers, families and friends came out in their support. All the kids came to see their teachers work at the Wheeling McDonald's. Many teachers shared the pie costume duties but Principal Michels started the event assisting the Pie teacher and did a fabulous job. Special thank-you goes to PTO dining out chair, Jill Axelrod, who organized the entire event.
