On Wednesday, March 25, 2026, student volunteers worked at McDonald’s, 604 E. Lincolnway, Morrison, IL, between 4:00 and 7:00 p.m. They delivered food to customers and cleaned tables.
McDonald’s hosted a “Good Neighbor Night” opportunity, to support the School District Theater Department. A donation of $500 was made.
The public supported the fundraiser, according to Music Boosters Treasurer Norma Nelson. “Students arrived at 3:45” and began working. “[McDonald’s] brought in extra staff to accommodate us. The drive-through was extremely busy! The lobby was full the majority of the time.”
At the end of their shift, McDonald’s personnel presented a generous check to the school group. The “Good Neighbor Night” donation will support musical productions, like the upcoming Greek mythology musical “Hadestown: Teen Edition.” It will be performed May 1-3. The cast and chorus includes Senior and Junior High performers.
