Washington School Teachers are “Ba Da Ba Ba Bah, Lovin' it”

Washington Elementary School students gave teachers an A-plus on their fundraising efforts to help raise money for the school.

Elgin |Washington Elementary School students gave teachers an A-plus on their fundraising efforts to help raise money for the school.

Administrators, Teachers, and support staff from Washington volunteered behind the counter on Thursday, November 21st, 2019, at the Elgin McDonald's located on Larkin Avenue. Where they served students and their families in a fundraiser.

The Washington Elementary staff members worked various jobs throughout the restaurant during this three-hour fundraising event. These jobs included, wearing an apple pie costume, apple pie seller, making ice cream treats, Front counter helper, delivering meals to customers, calling out orders, and working the drive-thru.

The proceeds from the 240 Apple Pies sold went directly to benefit the School. Twenty percent of the proceeds from the McTeacher's Night sales were also donated directly to Washington Elementary School.

David Bear, Owner/Operator of the Elgin McDonald's is delighted to participate in the worthy cause for education and the community.
