McDonald’s in Maywood Holds McTeacher’s Night for Washington Dual Language Academy

Washington Dual Language Academy from District 89 in Maywood held their first annual McTeacher's Night at the Maywood McDonald's on First Ave. on Tuesday, May 23rd. A McTeacher's Night is organized to help raise money for local schools by having teachers work at McDonald's and then giving a percentage of the night's sales to the local school.

On Tuesday, the restaurant was taken over by teachers excited to serve freshly prepared meals to students and their families to raise money for Washington Dual Language Academy. The students and families were excited to see their teachers and principal behind the counter and throughout the restaurant.

Thirteen teachers and staff members worked from the elementary school. The McTeacher's jobs included greeting guests, cleaning the lobby, working the front counter, serving drinks, clearing tables, and serving ice cream cones--all duties which were executed with great enthusiasm.

Ronald McDonald stopped by to enjoy the festivities and meet the students and staff members. The students enjoyed getting their picture taken and giving Ronald McDonald high fives!

A special thank you goes to Washington Dual Language Academy member Patricia Bass who organized the event as well as everyone that worked and attended the event. Washington Dual Language Academy teachers worked hard and with excitement, while the families enjoyed a spectacular evening.

Washington Dual Language Academy plan to use the money raised for students awards, Spring Dance and musical instruments. Washington Dual Language Academy raised $500.00 at the event.
