But through it all, they ensure school facilities are clean & tidy so students can learn their very best.
For all you do to support learning & our schools: Thank you, school janitors!

We don’t address the elephants in the room because we’re afraid. We’re scared that we don’t know how to talk about those sticky issues, or we’re afraid that we’ll say something terribly “wrong” & that our relationships with others might suffer.

(Teamwork + data + curriculum + PD...)
1 year’s growth in 1 month! 🙌

Just ask @CarvajalHageman@SeafordBluejays @PrincipalNeubs for their @BookwormsRW story.
