The funding for the MAC Grant program comes directly from food sales at Jerry Lewis\u2019 McDonald\u2019s Restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>Local McDonald\u2019s owner Jerry Lewis offers this exciting educational initiative to assist area elementary and middle school teachers with their important job of educating young students. Recognizing that lessons often become more meaningful when demonstrated with hands-on experiences, McDonald\u2019s supplements regular classroom curriculum by supporting activities that the school\u2019s budget may not allow.<\/p>\n<p>Teachers can use grant money to energize a science lesson by building a weather station or make history come to life by recreating pioneer life with butter churning and candle dipping. Because McDonald&#8217;s is soliciting ideas from teachers, project ideas are limitless.<\/p>\n<p>McDonald\u2019s franchisee Lewis started in the McDonald\u2019s business as a manager trainee in Zanesville more than 30 years ago. Today he owns and operates 17 McDonald\u2019s Restaurants employing more than 900 people in Lima, Delphos, Van Wert, Beaverdam, Bluffton, Ada, Ottawa, Hicksville Carey and Upper Sandusky.<\/p>\n<p>Lewis believes in giving back to the communities in which he does business and supporting a variety of worthy causes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Area teachers have just two weeks left to apply for a McDonald\u2019s MAC Grant, which offers financial support to help teachers Make Activities Count for their students.
