Local teachers serve students and families at McTeacher's Night to raise money for John Stewart PTN
Elburn| John Stewart Elementary School students gave teachers an A-plus on their fundraising efforts to support local education and the Schools PTN.
Teachers,Administration, and support staff from John Stewart volunteered behind the counter and throughout the restaurant on Tuesday, May 21st at the Elburn McDonald's located on Center Avenue where they served students and their families in their annual McTeacher's Night fundraiser.
During this FUNdraising event teachers Drew, Hardy, and Kunstman each took a turn dressed in an Apple Pie costume. While teachers Gilkey, Argabright, Hartkopp, and Zollers all helped sell pies alongside each of them. Several other school staff members tended the front counter, served food to their customers, presented food at the drive-thru, and tended the lobby.
