This week we celebrate classified employees week. Each day we will take a minute to highlight a particular group. Today we start with our Maintenance workers and custodians. Did you know we have nine staff members who work to keep the building operating? Mark, Richard, and Lourdes come in early in the morning to make sure everything is ready to go. The night crew is here until 12:00AM every night cleaning classrooms, restrooms and everywhere else. During the summer they take all desks and furniture out of every classroom to properly finish floors. It is not easy to keep a building that opened in 1957 as neat and tidy as they do. We appreciate our LHS custodians and maintenance workers. If you see them please thank them for their hard work.
