Arlington Heights teachers thanked with frozen yogurt

The superintendent of an elementary school district and the owner of a frozen yogurt shop partnered to hand out sweet treats to teachers during a drive-up event Friday in downtown Arlington Heights.

Arlington Heights Elementary District 25 Superintendent Lori Bein, with the help of Berry Yo owner Sheila Henneman, district administrators and Berry Yo employees, distributed approximately 400 cups of frozen yogurt during the two-hour lunchtime event.

“We're just thanking District 25 teachers for how hard they're working to keep school going virtually,” said Bein. “And we wanted to do it with Berry Yo, because Berry Yo does so much for the community.”

Teachers, many of whom had their children with them in their cars, smiled and waved as they stopped to make a quick pickup in front of the Vail Avenue shop.

“I'm very excited to be able to support the teachers in this time of uncertainty,” Henneman said. “It's putting a smile on everyone's faces, and that's what we're here for.”
