Willard Elementary in District U-46 Has a McTeacher's Night
Willard Elementary School held their very first McTeacher's Night at the South Elgin McDonald's located at 100 N. McLean Blvd
On Wednesday, April 18th, 2018 Willard Elementary School held their very first McTeacher's Night at the South Elgin McDonald's located at 100 N. McLean Blvd. The restaurant was taken over by teachers and staff members excited to serve freshly prepared meals to students and their families to raise money for Willard Elementary School in District U-46.
The students and families were excited to see their teachers and Principal Julie Leston behind the counter and throughout the restaurant.
The teachers worked many different jobs during this event which included helping take orders, helping at the drive-thru window, handing out orders, making ice cream treats, keeping the lobby clean and even selling Fresh Hot Apple Pies while dressed in a pie costume.

Angela Stec and Denise Hoske each took a turn wearing the pie costume while Sharon Fessler and Kelli Silvius escorted them around the restaurant with the tray of Delicious Hot Apple Pies to sell. They were all very good sales ladies and sold all 240 pies that were donated to the school by McDonald’s Owner/Operator, David Bear of the Bear Family Restaurants. 100 % of the proceeds from the pies sales go to the school.
The schools 5th and 6th grade Orchestra and Band also performed during the McTeacher’s Night making the night even more special for all who attended. The students were great performers and they sounded wonderful.
