North Aurora McDonald's gives back to Jewel Middle School

On Tuesday, Feb. 16, Jewel Middle School held a very successful McTeacher's Night at the McDonald's in North Aurora. The restaurant was full of families supporting the school as well as waiting to see their teachers and Principal Greg Scalia.

Eleven teachers overtook the restaurant serving up delicious meals to students and families to raise money for Jewel Middle School PTO.

Principal Scalia worked very hard while supporting the staff. He made some great Shamrock Shakes and Assistant Principal Elroy Phillips made some great McFlurry's. The Jewel families were so thrilled to see the principal, assistant principal and teachers from the school. The McTeacher jobs included greeting guests, cleaning the lobby, working the front counter, serving drinks, clearing tables, and serving ice cream.

Jewel McTeachers had it all covered, and the families enjoyed a spectacular evening.

The PTO plans to use the money raised to go into the PTO fund to support the school. Lots of students, teachers, families and friends came out in their support. All the kids came to see their teachers work at the North Aurora McDonald's. Special thank-you goes to PTO dining out chair Margaret Patterson, who organized the entire event.

The McTeacher's Night was courtesy of the North Aurora McDonald's owner/operators, the Lardas family. For more information about events provided by the North Aurora McDonald's, contact Julie Travers at Julie.Travers@comcast.net or visit their website at www.mylocalmcds.com.
