Great teachers give more than grades, they lend a helping hand

South Elgin | Teachers from Fox Meadow Elementary School, volunteered behind the counter on September 19th, at the McDonald’s located 453 Redington Rd. Where they served students and their families in a fundraiser for the Elementary School.

Twenty percent of the proceeds from the Fox Meadows McTeacher’s Night sales were donated directly to the Fox Meadow PTO. April Wende, Fox Meadow PTO representative said the proceeds from the McTeacher’s Night will go towards new playground equipment.
