McTeacher FUNdraiser benefits Corron Elementary School in South Elgin

On Tuesday, Feb. 21, the McDonald's on Redington Drive in South Elgin held a McTeacher's Night for Corron Elementary School in St. Charles Unit District 303. The teachers worked at McDonald's that night and a percentage of the school's sales is given to the school.

The staff from Corron was very excited to serve their students and families. Tuesday was the perfect night to have the patio doors at this beautiful restaurant open for a little taste of springtime with the nice breeze. The Corron staff worked jobs that included greeting guests, working the front counter, making ice cream and the principal even dressed in a pie costume to sell pies, where all the proceeds go directly to the school.

To make the night even more exciting, Ronald McDonald showed up to take pictures with the staff, students and their families.

A special thank you goes out to PTO secretary Stacy Rubly, who organized the event as well as all the staff who so graciously worked to help raise money for the PTO who plans to use the money raised towards things such as teacher's wish list, technology and any other needs that the school has.

The PTO raised more than $800 during this three-hour event and they are already talking about next year's McTeacher's Night.

The McTeacher's Night was courtesy of the South Elgin McDonald's owner/operator, the Bear Family.
