Waterbury Teachers Flipping Burgers instead of Pages

Local teachers serve students and families on McTeacher's Night to raise money for Waterbury Elementary School.

Hanover Park | Waterbury Elementary School students gave teachers an A-plus on their fundraising efforts to support local education and school activities.

Teachers from School District 20 in Keeneyville volunteered behind the counter on Thursday, April 4th, at the Hanover Park McDonald’s located on Lake Street, where they served students and their families in a fundraiser for the Elementary School.

The teachers and staff had a great time taking pictures and having conversations with the families that attended this fundraiser.
