Roosevelt Middle School in Bellwood Holds Annual Fundraiser

Roosevelt Middle School from District 88 in Bellwood held their annual McTeacher's Night at the Bellwood McDonald's on 25th Ave. on Wednesday, January 24th. 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 Wednesday the restaurant was taken over by teachers excited to serve freshly prepared meals to students and their families to raise money for Roosevelt Middle School. The students and families were excited to see their teachers and principal behind the counter and throughout the restaurant.

Twenty teachers and staff members worked from the middle school. The McTeacher's jobs included greeting guests, cleaning the lobby, working the front counter, serving drinks, clearing tables, and serving ice cream cones--all duties which were executed with great enthusiasm.

The cheer squad, led by coaches Ramanda Matthews and Tamar Ovedje, made an appearance. The school band, led by Music Teacher Clarence Williams, also came by to entertain families.

A special thank you goes to Roosevelt Middle School Principal Paul Glover who organized the event as well as everyone that worked and attended the event. Roosevelt Middle School teachers worked hard and with excitement, while the families enjoyed a spectacular evening.

Roosevelt Middle School raised $420 and plans to use the money raised for student activities.
