🧹💙💛 Happy National Custodian Appreciation Day! 💛💙🧹

Today, we’re celebrating the people who work behind the scenes every single day to keep Central Heights clean, safe, welcoming, and looking its best. Our custodians and maintenance crew do SO much more than most people ever see, and we are incredibly grateful for each of them!

Meet the people who help keep our Viking home running:

🔧 Tom Cox: Head of Maintenance
Tom has been with Central Heights for 4 years. His favorite part of the job? The variety of work! There’s always something different to tackle. Tom wishes people understood that a lot of the problems he has to fix are simply caused by people doing things they shouldn’t. 👀

🧹 Barb Short
Barb has been part of our school family for an incredible 30 years, first as a bus driver and now as a custodian. Her favorite part of the job is simple: the kids! 💙 She wishes everyone understood that when people intentionally trash the bathrooms, they’re not just making a mess, they’re making the custodians’ jobs harder.

🧽 Ms. Deb
Another 30 year Viking, Ms. Deb started as a bus driver, then became a lunchroom supervisor before joining Barb as a custodian. And just like Barb, her favorite part of the job is the kids! She wants our community to understand that when paint is torn off walls or things are intentionally damaged, it takes a LOT of time and work to repair. Her message is one we can all get behind: Our community should take pride in our building! 🏫💙

🌱 Buddy Moore
Buddy has been keeping things looking great at Central Heights for 15 years! His favorite part of the job? The grass! And if you’ve seen how pristine our grounds look, you know he takes that job seriously. 🌿 He just wishes everyone would help out by picking up their trash outside.

These four, and everyone who helps care for our buildings and grounds, make a HUGE difference at Central Heights. They work hard to make our school a place we can all be proud of.

So today, let’s give them a little extra appreciation. ❤️. Shout-out YOUR favorite thing(s) about our team!

And Vikings, remember: Taking care of our school is everyone’s job. Pick up your trash. Treat the building with respect. Take pride in the place we call home.

Thank you, Tom, Barb, Ms. Deb, and Buddy, for everything you do for our Viking family! We appreciate you more than you know! 💙💛

Happy National Custodian Appreciation Day! 🧹✨
