families in a fundraiser for Yorkville Grade School.
Alexis Garcia, teacher, Yorkville Grade School, tended the apple pie
box during the night.
Val Rizio teacher and Emily Lech, Principal did an outstanding job
selling pies to customers throughout the night. The proceeds from their
sale of 138 pies went directly to benefit the students. Fifteen percent
of the proceeds from the McTeacher’s Night sales were donated directly
to the Yorkville Grade School PTO, which plans to use the money to help
pay for tablets and Chromebooks for the students.
Ed Schmitt, Owner- Operator of the Yorkville McDonald’s, and the Schmitt
Family were delighted to participate in the worthy cause for education
and the community.
“McTeacher’s Night is part of McDonald’s larger commitment to education
and other important initiatives supporting families and the local
community.” Schmitt said.
“We are proud to serve the families of the Yorkville community and
through the McTeacher’s Night event. In addition to help provide
financial support for our local schools, we help students feel connected
to their school, their teachers and their sense of community.”
Schmitt donated a case of apple pies to the school for sale at the
event. Inspired by the success of McTeacher’s Night, the Schmitt Family
has set their sights on partnering with other schools in the Yorkville area.
“Lech and everyone who rolled up their sleeves in support of this event”
are the fabric that strengthen our community.” Schmitt said.
