Today we celebrate the heart and hard work of our school — our incredible custodians:
Ms. Johnson, Ms. Adams, and Ms. Brooks!
These amazing women go above and beyond every single day to keep our school clean, safe, and welcoming. Their dedication never goes unnoticed — and we are so thankful for all they do!
Happy National Custodians Day!
