Dear Parents and Guardians

We warmly invite every HATTIE FAMILY to join us on Thursday, 20 August from 16h00 – 19h00 for a special McTeacher’s Night fundraiser at McDonald’s Kuilsriver!🎉

How does it work? It’s simple:

👉 Come enjoy a meal with family and friends.
👉 Our teachers will be helping behind the counter and serving customers.
👉 15% of all food sales at the counter not drive through during the evening will go directly back to Bellville Technical High School!

That means every burger, Happy Meal and McFlurry helps support our school. 🍟🍦

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Bring the whole family!
👫 Invite your friends and neighbours!
👩‍🏫 Come see your favourite teachers in action!

Let’s make it a fun and memorable evening while raising funds for our school. We hope to see many HATTIE families and friends there!
