Farnsworth Elementary held its very first McTeacher's Night

Farnsworth Elementary school held its very first McTeacher's Night on a very sunny spring night. The event took place on Wednesday, May 16th at the Chicago McDonald's on North Milwaukee Avenue.
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 May 16th, the restaurant was taken over by teachers and staff members from Farnsworth Elementary excited to serve freshly prepared meals to students and their families to raise money for the Farnsworth PTA which plans to use the money raised for programs for the kids.
There were at least twenty-five teachers and staff who worked from the school. Principal Oken and Assistant Principal Walsh were also both in attendance to support the Farnsworth staff and both worked very 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 teachers Jim Knoeckl and Laura Barnhart who volunteered to dress up as an apple pie while families donated funds for their own delicious pie! They were also assisted by the pie sellers, Rose Ann Locke and Maritza Argyris. Thank you to PTA representative Lisa Cary who organized the event. A special performance outside by TWI made the night extra special. The families enjoyed the music by TWI for two solid hours. Farnsworth Elementary School teachers and staff worked hard and with excitement, while the families enjoyed a spectacular evening.
