Holy Cross School teachers shake things up at McDonald's!  

Local teachers serve students and families at McTeacher's Night to raise money for Holy Cross School.

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

Teachers from School Holy Cross volunteered behind the counter on Wednesday, January 22nd, at the McDonald’s located on Wilson Street, where they served students and their families in a fundraiser for the 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 administration sold pies while in a pie costume during this event. The 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 St., and Yanni Management were delighted to participate in the worthy cause for education and the community.

“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.”
