Update #69 from Dr. Derek Arrowood, Superintendent, Hamilton Heights School Corporation.

Saturday is National Custodial Workers Recognition Day. I would like to give a shout out of appreciation to our facilities/custodial team who help keep our schools clean, well-maintained, and are ever present making sure our staff and students have a safe space to teach, learn and grow. They often go above and beyond in their service inside and outside our buildings. These employees, who arrive early and often stay late, are among our unsung heroes in public education. When you see any of our outstanding facilities/custodial crew, please give them a huge THANK YOU! They have earned it!  #CustodialWorkersRecognitionDay
