                                        Breakfast with our Custodians


                                        The custodial services department has had the privilege of having breakfast with
                                        the superintendent as well as other members of the administration team. Many
                                        topics have been discussed to include the work calendar. Most importantly we

                                        have taken the opportunity to thank the staff  for everything they have done at
                                        their respective campuses throughout the year dating back to the beginning of
                                        the pandemic, the snow storm and the vaccine drives to name a few. Custodians
                                        truly are the Unsung Heroes of our campuses and for that I thank you all.
