Barrington Square McDonald’s in Hoffman Estates Hosts Eisenhower

A McTeacher's Night is organized to help raise money for local schools by having teachers work at McDonald's

Eisenhower Jr High School held their second annual McTeacher's Night Fundraiser at the Hoffman Estates McDonald's in Barrington Square on Higgins Rd. 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 back to the local school.

On Wednesday, April 25th, the restaurant was taken over by an AMAZING group of teachers and administrative staff excited to serve freshly prepared meals to students and their families. During this three-hour FUNdraiser the teachers and administrative staff handed out orders, served Ice Cream treats, made McCafe Drinks, worked the Drive-Thru and even dressed up in a Pie costume while selling Fresh Hot Apple Pies for donations. All pies sold were donated to the school by the McDonald’s Owner/Operator David Bear of the Bear Family Restaurants.

The teachers worked hard selling delicious apple pies all night and had a blast. The funds earned from the evening will go into the Eisenhower PTA general funds account.
