 Let's help our housekeeping team keep our school clean!

Each month a representative of the maintenance department tours our school to help detect areas in need of repair and to review the cleanliness of our school.  Mr. Glenn, Mr. Bowers, Mrs. O'Neil and our newest (part time member) Mr. Mabry are working hard to keep the building clean.  We can assist them by doing the following:

• Teachers check behind students after the class has used the restroom.
• Remind children to refrain from dumping any item in the water fountain or sink
• Remind children to throw out old water etc in the toilet and flush.
• If something small is spilled on the floor~ clean it up.
• Remind children to pick up items dropped on the floor.
• Pick up trash in the hall. 
• At the end of the week empty food from refrigerators.
• Keep clutter off the floors (students & teachers).

Together we can keep our school clean.
