Corporation’s (NASDAQ: CTAS) 2019

The winner of the 2019 Custodian of the Year contest will

Commercial Products – not to mention bragging rights.
The top 10 finalists in the 2019 Custodian of the Year contest
include:
- Angel Aviles – Main Street School
(Irvington, N.Y.) Keeping a 100-year-old building filled with
energetic elementary students in great shape can be a difficult
task – but not for Angel Aviles, Main Street School’s beloved
custodian. Whether he’s climbing the fire ladder to take pictures
of the whole school (even though he’s scared of heights) or
spending his weekend installing a new playground for the kids,
Angel takes his responsibilities to new heights.
- Micah Bootz – Sullivan Elementary
School (Green Bay, Wis.)With more than 620 students and nearly
100 staff members, Sullivan is Green Bay’s largest elementary
school and requires someone who can keep up with it all through
rain, shine and record-breaking snowstorms. Luckily,
Mr. Bootz is the perfect man for the job. A former
teacher, Mr. Bootz is a natural with the students and is
often found giving out fist-bumps, sitting beside students who
could use a buddy at lunch and editing a student’s news story for
the school’s digital newspaper.
- Miguel Cuellar – McKinley Elementary
– (San Francisco, Calif.)Most children don’t fight over who
gets to sweep up the messy cafeteria floor, but if it means getting
to spend some quality time with Mr. Miguel, McKinley Elementary
School’s custodian, the line of students extends down the hall!
From putting in overtime to help with renovations, to speaking
Spanish with Hispanic students to ensure they feel welcomed and
valued, Mr. Miguel goes above and beyond all expectations to make
the school a clean, fun and thriving learning environment.
- Howard Edwards – Cardinal John Foley
Regional Catholic School (Havertown, Pa.)When it comes to
making holidays and school events special for students and staff,
Mr. Howard is the man to see. Between celebrations, he teaches
sewing classes as a part of the school’s elective program and even
produced colorful costumes for the school’s production of Mary
Poppins. Whether he’s saving a parking spot for a student with a
broken leg or telling a joke to a child in need of cheering up, Mr.
Howard’s heart of gold shines all day, every day.
- Aristeo Flores – Scotts Valley
Middle School (Scotts Valley, Calif.)Aristeo Flores always has
a warm, kind smile on his face. Over the last 17 years, his gentle
demeanor, sense of humor and hard work has left a positive impact
on Scotts Valley Middle School. He is always willing to lend a hand
even when the task takes extra time and isn't part of his normal
routine. Students and staff are grateful for his steadfast presence
and interest in the well-being of all.
- Debi Hess – Berry Intermediate
(Lebanon, Ohio)Miss Debi responds to all types of calls
throughout the day – retrieving kickballs from the roof, helping
students get into their jammed lockers and even filling in for a
bus driver when one calls in sick! Known for her generosity, kind
smile and fearlessness, Miss Debi makes every school day a
memorable one for every student and faculty member.
- Don Killingsworth – Sevilla West
Elementary School (Phoenix, Ariz.)Mr. Don, otherwise known
affectionately as Pelón (‘bald man’ in Spanish) to Sevilla West
Elementary students, always goes the extra mile to mentor kids
around campus, especially those who may not have a strong father
figure in their lives. Mr. Don continually extends his generosity
to the community by donating clothing, shoes and even cell phones
to those who need it most. Whether he’s wearing his crosswalk-duty
uniform or dressing up as Santa Claus to read the Polar Express to
students, Don is a true hero without a cape.
- Graham McVay – Trenton High School
(Trenton, Mo.)Trenton may be a small town in Missouri, but it
is home to a huge celebrity: Graham McVay, the custodian at Trenton
High School for the last 31 years. Students who graduated and have
children of their own in the school system still fondly recall
Graham’s upbeat attitude, kindness and impressive memory that has
never forgotten a single student’s name. At the end of the year,
Graham can always be found at the senior graduation ceremony,
cheering on another group of students who will remember him
forever.
- Tim Persenaire – Knapp Forest
Elementary School (Grand Rapids, Mich.)There’s no job too big
for Mr. Tim, the custodian at two Grand Rapid elementary schools
for nearly 40 years. This winter, students and faculty have had 13
snow days, but Mr. Tim has had none, always showing up early to
shovel and salt sidewalks in freezing temperatures. Being only one
of three custodians in two large school districts, Mr. Tim has an
endless to-do list, but he always makes time for curious children –
whether they want to know how to change a light bulb or how he
builds the sets for an upcoming musical or play.
- Nick Sifuentes – Hogan Cedars
Elementary School (Gresham, Ore.)Committed to building positive
relationships with students who need extra support and attention,
Hogan Cedars Elementary custodian Nick Sifuentes is often found
greeting children as they start their day and leading the school’s
Green Team and recycling program. Nick proudly serves on the Safety
and Wellness Committee and Resource Team and approaches all
challenges with a “can-do” attitude. Above all, Nick exemplifies
the school’s motto: Engaging Hearts and Minds Every Day.
