Today, we are giving a shout-out to our incredible school custodians at Harrisburg Unit 3.
From before the morning bell rings until long after the hallways empty, this team works tirelessly behind the scenes. Whether they are fixing a sudden leak, keeping our classrooms spotless, or greeting everyone with a warm smile, our schools wouldn’t be the same without them.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication.
