Grace McWayne School holds fundraiser at the Batavia McDonald's

Grace McWayne Elementary School held its annual McTeacher's Night at the Batavia McDonald's on Wilson Street on Tuesday, March 21.

A McTeacher's Night is organized to help raise money for local schools by having teachers work at McDonald's and then giving a percentage of the night's sales to the local school.

On Tuesday, the restaurant was taken over by teachers excited to serve freshly prepared meals to students and their families to raise money for Grace McWayne. The students and families were excited to see their teachers and principal behind the counter and throughout the restaurant.

The McTeacher's jobs included greeting guests, cleaning the lobby, working the front counter, serving drinks, and clearing tables. All duties which were executed with great enthusiasm and huge smiles from everyone.

Ronald McDonald stopped by to enjoy the festivities and meet the students and staff members from Grace McWayne School. The students and families enjoyed getting their picture taken with Ronald! The McDonald's staff was very excited to get their pictures taken as well.

A special thank you goes to Grace McWayne PTO Secretary Jamie Porter, who organized the event as well as everyone that worked and attended this exciting event.

PTO plans to use the money raised for their general funds and then vote where to distribute them.
