Holy Cross School teachers shake things up at McTeacher's Night

Students at Holy Cross School in Batavia gave teachers an A-plus on their fundraising efforts to support local education and school activities.

Teachers volunteered behind the counter on Wednesday, Jan. 22, at the McDonald's on Wilson Street, where they served students and their families in a fundraiser for the Batavia school.

The teachers and staff had a great time taking pictures and having conversations with the families that attended this fundraiser. Teachers and the school's administrators sold pies while in a pie costume during this event.

Proceeds from the sale of 212 pies went directly to benefit the school.

Fifteen percent of the proceeds from the McTeacher's Night sales were also donated to the school.

John Lardas, owner/operator of the Batavia McDonald's on Wilson Street, and Yanni Management were delighted to participate in the 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," Lardas said. "We are proud to serve the families of the Holy Cross community 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."

John Lardas donated a case of apple pies to the school for sale at the event. Inspired by the success of McTeacher's Night, Yanni Management has set their sights on partnering with other schools in the Batavia area.

"Everyone who rolled up their sleeves in support of this event is the fabric that strengthens our community," Lardas said.
