Today is National Custodial Worker’s Recognition Day. These employees work behind the scenes, making sure our buildings are organized & presentable. Students & staff would agree these employees do so much more. Whether it is helping with car pick-up or just offering a kind word to a student, they are all part of each building’s families.
