WPS/WIS School teachers shake things up at McDonald's!
Local teachers serve students and families at McTeacher's Night to raise money for the WPTC
Westchester | WPS and WIS School students gave their teachers an A-plus on their fundraising efforts to support local education and funds for the WPTC.
Twenty-five fun-loving teachers and two amazing Principals from WPS and WIS Schools volunteered on Wednesday, October 16, at the Westchester McDonald’s located on 31st St., where they served students and their families in a fundraiser for their schools.
Mr. Barrett and Mrs. DelFiacco, Principals of WPS and WIS Schools, were at the event the entire night talking with the families and supporting their staff. Mr. Barrett was in the Pie Costume for half the night.

The proceeds from the sale of 216 pies went directly to benefit the WPTC and the students. Twenty percent of the proceeds from the McTeacher’s Night sales were donated directly to the WPTC, which also plans to use that money to go into the general fund to benefit the student activities.
