Dear Richmond Families and Staff,
Today is National Custodian Day. On this occasion, I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation and gratitude for the dedicated custodians who play an indispensable role in maintaining the cleanliness, safety, and functionality of our school district.
Custodians are the unsung heroes of our educational institutions, working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that our schools provide a conducive environment for learning. Their contributions extend far beyond simply cleaning classrooms and emptying trash cans. Custodians are the first to arrive and the last to leave, often working long hours to address the ever-changing needs of our schools.
They are the individuals responsible for creating a clean, organized, and safe environment in which our students can thrive. They not only maintain the physical aspects of our schools but also contribute significantly to the overall well-being of our educational community. From disinfecting classrooms during a pandemic to setting up for events, custodians go above and beyond their job descriptions.
Custodians are often the friendly faces our students and staff encounter on a daily basis. They provide a sense of security, comfort, and support to all who enter our schools. They take pride in their work, and their commitment to our educational mission is unwavering.
On National Custodian Day, it is essential that we take a moment to acknowledge the invaluable role custodians play in the success of our school district. Their dedication and hard work should never go unnoticed. I encourage all members of our school community to express their gratitude and appreciation to the custodians who make our educational experience possible.
Custodians are the backbone of our school district, and their contributions are immeasurable. Let us take this opportunity to thank them for their unwavering commitment to maintaining our schools and creating an environment where students can learn, grow, and thrive. We are fortunate to have such a dedicated team of custodians within our school district.
Happy National Custodian Day to all our custodians. Your hard work and commitment do not go unnoticed, and we are truly grateful for everything you do.
Sincerely,
Brian J. Walmsley, Ed.S.
Superintendent
