Have you ever heard of Mc Teacher Night?
It's a school fundraiser where teachers "work" at Mc Donald's and your school gets a portion of the proceeds from the sales during that time frame.
Our school has done it two years in a row. We divide it up between grade levels. We have a designated night for 6th grade, one for 7th and one for 8th. We even make it a competition.
Ours was last week. I was the order caller. It was a pretty easy job.
We also offer students a free homework pass for attending.
We had a great turn out. Not sure what we made money wise, but the kids loved it.
It's a great way to motivate students and been out and about in the community. We are a small town, and we have a ton of staff that commutes. For parents to see those teachers working Mc Donald's was a big deal.
Not sure if it is available in your area, but it is worth a look into.
It is part of McDonalds Educates.
Link up with Joann over at Head Over Heels for Teaching and get motivated!!!
Our school is giving this a try this year. I have a feeling I will get major flashbacks to some of my old high school jobs.

That is so cool. I have never heard of this, but I would do this in a heartbeat.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, that is pretty awesome. I'm going to share this with our PTA because they are always looking for things like this.
thanks

This is the second time I've heard of this and I don't know why we don't participate! I have to share your post with my principal. So motivating! Thanks for sharing and linking up Elizabeth!
