Today (and every day), we want to give a heartfelt shoutout to the incredible custodial team that keeps our school running smoothly behind the scenes.

From early mornings to late evenings, you work tirelessly to ensure our classrooms, hallways, and common areas are clean, safe, and welcoming for everyone. Your hard work, dedication, and attention to detail do not go unnoticed — and we are so grateful for all that you do!

Thank you for being the quiet heroes of our school community. We appreciate you more than words can say!
