West Chicago High School Takes Over McDonald's For McFundraising

WCHS students gave teachers and administrators an A-plus on their fundraising efforts to support Club Green.

West Chicago|Principal Dwyer, teachers, and support staff from WCHS in West Chicago volunteered behind the counter and throughout the restaurant on Thursday, August 29th, at the West Chicago McDonald's located on Route 59 and North Ave, where they served students and their families in their annual fundraiser.

Students were thrilled to see their favorite teachers outside of the classroom at an event to raise money for their school.

Several teachers and staff members went around the restaurant encouraging students to purchase a hot apple pie while teachers tended the front counter, served ice cream and presented delicious food at the drive-thru.

All in all, it was an outstanding evening filled with joy. It was all made possible by WCHS and the wonderful support from their families, students, and staff.
