Provo City School District is recognizing its custodial teams for National Custodian Appreciation Day on October 2. The district aims to honor the staff who help maintain clean, safe, healthy, and comfortable school environments.
The district employs approximately 165 people dedicated to creating environments that allow teachers to teach and students to learn. According to a notice on the district website, their work impacts more than just building appearance. Research has linked clean school environments with improved health, lower absenteeism, and stronger educational outcomes.
In honor of the appreciation day, the district encourages people to thank custodians at schools or district buildings to let them know their work is appreciated.
