Custodian Today?
Be sure to thank a custodian if you see
one today. Better yet, show your thanks
by respecting their work and keeping
our school clean, neat and tidy.
And don’t get blinded by the shiny

And NO, their great work is not a valid reason for you to
wear sunglasses in school. Sorry. (Nice try, though)
