We love our school custodians!
On October 2nd, National Custodian Worker's Recognition Day encourages appreciation to the employees who keep our schools running smoothly. Custodial workers operate behind the scenes. They are the first line of defense of the war on germs and often, it's a thankless task. So, on National Custodian Day, show your appreciation to your school custodian!
Thank you to all of our school custodians!
