McDonalds – Wednesday, March 3rd
Take the night off this Wednesday, March 3rd! After you pick up your children from school, or get them off the bus, while you are on your way to the Barnes & Noble book fair, either stop and have dinner or pick something up through the drive-thru. McDonalds is donating to Glen Oak PTO 10% of all sales during the hours of 4:00-8:00 pm. It is events like this that help us to fund events like Glen Oak Idol, COSI on Wheels, Moments with Mom, SuperGames, etc. Tell your neighbors, family and friends, better yet meet them there and take them to the book fair!
