A Golden Night Under the Golden Arches for Long Beach Elementary

Long Beach Elementary School in Community Unit School District 308 held its first McTeacher's Night on Tuesday, January 16th at the Oswego McDonald's on Douglas.

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.

On January 16th, the restaurant was taken over by teachers and staff members from Long Beach Elementary excited to serve freshly prepared meals to students and their families to raise money for Long Beach Home and School Association.

There were thirty-three teachers and staff members who worked from the school including Principal Phil Murray who volunteered most of the night. Assistant Principal Alex Gonzalez also worked hard. 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.

A Special thank you goes to Mike Cavello, Miss Herrmann and Amy Schmidt who volunteered to dress up as an apple pie while families donated funds for their own delicious pie! Thank you to Home and School representative Sandy Ramirez who organized the event. Long Beach School teachers and staff worked hard and with excitement, while the families enjoyed a spectacular evening.

Long Beach Elementary School plans to use the money raised to purchase Chrome Book Carts.
