McTeacher’s Night Held for Jamieson School at Peterson Ave. McDonald's

Jamieson School held their first McTeacher’s Night at the McDonald’s on Peterson in Chicago, on Tuesday, May 16. 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. It was a beautiful night. All the kids came to see their favorite teachers working.

On Tuesday, the restaurant was taken over by teachers excited to serve freshly prepared meals to students and their families. The students and families were excited to see Principal Baughman and many teachers behind the counter and throughout the restaurant.

So many amazing teachers worked from Jamieson. The McTeacher's jobs included greeting guests, cleaning the lobby, working the front counter, making Ice Cream treats, working drive-thru and dressing in a pie costume where pies were sold for donations. All duties were executed with great enthusiasm and huge smiles on everyone's faces.

Ms. Canizares wore the Pie Costume almost the entire night. A wonderful time was had by all who attended this event.

To make the evening even more memorable, Ronald McDonald stopped by to take pictures with many of the kids and families.

A special thank you goes to teacher Linda Murakami, who organized the entire event as well as all the staff who worked so graciously to help raise money for Jamieson. The school plans to put the money earned into the fund to purchase rewards for the positive behavior program at Jamieson.
