District 54 Early Learning teachers shake things up at McDonald's

Hoffman Estates| ELC Preschool students gave their teachers an A-plus on their fundraising efforts to support local education. Several fun-loving teachers and staff members from ELC volunteered on Wednesday, November 13, at the Hoffman Estates McDonald's located on Roselle Road., where they served students and their families in a fundraiser for the District 54 Early Learning Center. Several teachers took a turn wearing a Pie Costume while alongside them other teachers sold the apple pies to the school families during this FUNdraising event. The proceeds from the sale of 184 pies went directly to benefit the school and the students. Twenty percent of the proceeds from the McTeacher's Night sales were also donated directly to the school, which plans to use that money to go into the general funds account to provide the students with books, folders, and equipment they need throughout the school year. David Bear, Owner/Operator of the Hoffman Estates McDonald's, and the Bear Family were delighted to participate in this worthy cause for education and the community. "McTeacher's Night is part of McDonald's larger commitment to education and other important initiatives supporting families and the local community," Bear said. "We are proud to serve the families of the Hoffman Estates and Schaumburg communities through the McTeacher's Night event. In addition to helping provide financial support for our local schools, we help students feel connected to their school, their teachers and their sense of community."

"The teachers and families who supported this event are the fabric that strengthens our community," Bear said. The McTeacher's Night was courtesy of the Bear Family Restaurants and McDonald's Owner/Operator, David Bear. Like us on facebook and visit our Bear Website.
