We LOVE our Maintenance Crew!

Today is Valentine's Day all over the world. Our children have brought cards, goodies, and treats for their friends and the teachers. I was even remembered in some remarkable ways.

But today is also an opportunity to recognize a very hard working group of individuals with many, many talents. They use these talents to keep our schools running smoothly. Any time something breaks, stops working, needs repairing, or replacing...these smart folks are just a call away.

So today our school decided to let the Maintenance Crew know just how much they mean to us. I can't share them all, but I did want to reveal a few of their writings!
