McDonald’s Week is just around the corner! The week’s activities will start on Saturday, November 15, and go through November 20. We hope your Marksmen will find ways to get involved and engage with this annual St. Mark’s effort to give back to our community.
McDonald’s Week is a fundraiser hosted by the Junior Class and supported by the McDonald’s at Preston & Royal in support of Austin Street Center, one of Dallas’s largest homeless shelters. Throughout the year, members of the junior class will also deliver and serve more than 2,000 meals at Austin Street, which are donated by McDonald’s.
How can families support this effort and get involved with McDonald’s Week?

T-shirts and Wristbands
Every year, the McDonald’s Week theme is revealed, and a new t-shirt is designed and sold to St. Mark’s students by the Junior Class. This year’s theme will be revealed in the Upper School Assembly on November 13. Shirts and wristbands will be sold at McDonald’s, on campus, and in the student store throughout the week.
Raffle
The Junior Class organizes a raffle to raise funds. Items include Mavs tickets, memorabilia signed by San Antonio Spur Harrison Ingram ’21, memorabilia signed by NBA champion Dirk Nowitzki, and an assortment of gift cards. Tickets can be bought at McDonald’s in the mornings and on campus throughout the week.
We hope to make this year’s McDonald’s Week a huge success with your help. Thank you for supporting McDonald’s Week and the Junior Class!
Best,
The McDonald’s Week Co-Chairs & The St. Mark’s Junior Class
