Who will win the McTeachers Night contest? Ada or Upper Scioto Valley?
USV teachers and staff served many customers during a two-hour period last week. Ada’s turn was Wednesday from 5-7 p.m. at Ada McDonald’s.
From casual observance, USV had more customers lined up at 5 p.m. But, Ada customers began flowing in the door shortly after 5 o’clock. The winner is determined by which school had the most sales during a two-hour slot.

Who will win the Ada McDonald’s “Burger War?” It all up to the Ada community to beat Upper Scioto Valley, and that’s a tall order because USV set a record last week.
USV diners sold and served over $1,000 worth of McDonald’s food during the first of their two-hour stint last Monday. Ada’s turn is from 5-7 p.m. on Wednesday.
Both schools receive a percentage of sales, and the winning school gets a bonus. Last year USV took home $1,000 for winning the contest. Ada received a check for $700. Actually, both schools added to their coffers, so both won.
