A Golden Night Under the Golden Arches for Nicholson Elementary

Nicholson Elementary School in West Aurora Public School District 129 held its first McTeacher's Night on Tuesday, November 7th 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 November 7th, the restaurant was taken over by teachers and staff members from Nicholson Elementary excited to serve freshly prepared meals to students and their families to raise money for Nicholson PTO.

There were 14 teachers and staff members who worked from the school including Principal Melena Gaspadarek who volunteered the entire night. 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 David Heater and Erik Franzen who volunteered to dress up as an apple pie while families donated funds for their own delicious pie! Thank you to PTO representative Melissa Juarez who organized the event. Nicholson Elementary School teachers and staff worked hard and with excitement, while the families enjoyed a spectacular evening.

Nicholson Elementary School plans to use the money raised for their general fund to support the teacher wish lists.
