A Golden Night Under the Golden Arches for Trinity Lutheran School in Roselle

Trinity Lutheran School in Roselle held its annual McTeacher's Night on Thursday, May 17th at the Roselle McDonald’s On Irving Park Road.

A McTeacher's Night is organized to help raise money for local schools by having teachers and staff work at McDonald's and then giving a percentage of the night's sales back to the local school.

What a beautiful evening for a FUNdraising event at McDonald’s. The Restaurant was taken over by enthusiastic teachers and staff members from Trinity ready to serve freshly prepared meals to their students, church families and the community.

Many teachers and staff members worked from the school including Principal Dawn Koenig and Pastor Charles Mueller. The McTeacher's jobs included greeting guests, cleaning the lobby, working the front counter, serving drinks, clearing tables, selling apple pies and even dressing up as an apple pie.

Emily Butler, Pastor Mueller and Michelle Ludwig all took a turn wearing the apple pie costume, the pie selling assistants were Matt Grinder, Racheal Wayman and Kendall Troyke. They all did a fabulous job selling pies as well as keeping everyone entertained with their singing and dancing. The delicious hot apple pies were donated by the Nelson family, All proceeds from the pies sales when directly to the school.

Thank you to Martine Soyke who organized the event as well as everyone who volunteered and worked so hard to make this event a successful and fun night for Trinity Lutheran School.

Trinity Lutheran School plans to use the money raised to help the schools Dare to Dream program.
