OUSD Celebrates Our Custodians, the People Who Keep Our Schools Warm and Welcoming for Students and Staff
Across the nation, today is School Custodian Appreciation Day, a time when we honor all the amazing custodians across the District for their hard work and dedication to caring for our schools and supporting our students. This year, we will celebrate numerous custodians at our schools, and at the same time, we must also pay tribute to two custodians who passed away in September. They were both committed employees who loved working with our students, and keeping their environments sparkling, warm, and welcoming.
