Streamwood McDonald's Hosts Hilltop Elementary McTeacher's Night.

Streamwood McDonald's Host's Hilltop Elementary McTeacher's Night

Hilltop Elementary School of School District U46 held their first annual McTeacher's Night at the Streamwood McDonald's on Irving Park Rd, on Thursday, August 7th. 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 to the local school.

On Thursday, the atmosphere in the Streamwood McDonalds restaurant was nothing short of spectacular. The teachers were excited to serve freshly prepared meals to students and their families to raise money for Hilltop Elementary School. The students and families were excited to see their teachers behind the counter and throughout the restaurant.

An Amazing Thirty-Eight teachers worked from Hilltop school. The McTeacher's jobs included greeting guests, cleaning the lobby, working the front counter, serving drinks, Ice Cream, drive-thru, and selling pies while dressed in a pie costume. All which were executed with great enthusiasm and huge smiles on everyone's faces.

Mrs. Podgorski and Principal Dr. Kyle VonSchnase had a blast taking turns in the Pie Costume. Both stood outside on Irving Park Rd in front of McDonald’s, directing the customers to the restaurant where they could buy a Hot Apple Pie.

A special thank you goes to PTO Member, Tasha Hook who organized the entire event as well as everyone that worked and attended this amazing and memorable evening.
