In a recent government meeting, officials celebrated National Custodian Workers Recognition Day, acknowledging the vital role custodial staff play in maintaining school environments. Scheduled for October 2nd, the day honors custodians as \"quiet heroes\" who arrive early and leave late, ensuring schools are clean and welcoming for students and staff alike.
During the meeting, appreciation was expressed for the dedication of custodial employees, with a special mention of Jim Hennessy, the director of buildings and grounds. His leadership and responsiveness to various challenges, including urgent maintenance issues, were highlighted as exemplary.
The meeting included a presentation of certificates to recognize the hard work of custodial staff, accompanied by a light-hearted moment featuring cupcakes, reinforcing the community spirit within the district. This celebration not only served to honor the custodians but also aimed to foster a culture of gratitude and recognition for all staff members contributing to the educational environment.
