In early October the staff over at Grass Valley Elementary School (GVES) teamed up with McDonald’s to raise a little money for the school.
This is the second year that the school has done this. “McTeacher’s Night” is when the staff of GVES works at McDonald’s for four hours helping out the workers. The teachers and administrators do what the McDonald’s work crew does every day; flip burgers, take orders, make the meals, the works. And after putting in a good four hours, the school gets to take home 10 percent of the profits that the school’s staff helped racked in.
“It went really well and it was really fun,” said Principal Tim Connors.
The funds that the school makes go towards teaching materials, awards, pizza parties, and things of that nature.
“It brings our staff, students, parents, and community together. It’s for a good cause,” said Connors; and indeed it is for a good cause, not only for the school but for McDonald’s as well, “It lets the community know that [McDonald’s] stands behind their public education and is willing to help out in any way it can.”
“McTeacher’s Night” was successful this year, bringing in more money for the school than it did last year. GVES is going to continue to do “McTeacher’s Night” and hopes to bring in more money to better the education of the community’s young minds.
