Once again it’s the Battle of the Burgers at McDonalds in Ada when Ada and Upper Scioto Valley schools compete for the most customers during a two-hour period. A portion of the restaurant’s profits go to the schools. USV won last year. Will Ada get enough customers to McDonald’s to win the match in 2018?

Since Ada went first last year, USV competes first this year. USV teachers and staff will be on hand from 5-7 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 8. Ada’s turn is 5-7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 17.

The schools share in a portion of the profits during their two-hour stints. Upper took home first prize last year and were awarded a check for $1,000. Ada came away with $700. In either case, both schools win.

Last year when Ada went first, a mob of people showed up and made purchases. In fact, it was the largest turnout ever for a McTeacher's Night from among the 17 Lewis Family McDonald's. But then came USV, and they topped Ada to win an extra $150.
