The winner of the 2022 Cintas Custodian of the Year contest is…
Lydell Henderson from Presidential Park Elementary School in
Middletown, N.Y.! After nearly 90,000 votes were cast, Cintas
Corporation (Nasdaq: CTAS) confirmed Lydell Henderson is this
year’s contest winner. Mr. Henderson was honored by over 1,500
students and staff in a surprise ceremony at the school and will
receive a $10,000 cash prize from Cintas.
“This contest showcases the unique stories of hardworking
custodians throughout the country who deserve recognition for their
dedication to their profession,” said Christiny Betsch, Marketing
Manager, Cintas. “The community at Presidential Park Elementary
School clearly thinks the world of Mr. Henderson, and we’re honored
to recognize Mr. Henderson for his achievements.”
School custodians often go above and beyond their regular tasks,
including the time Mr. Henderson helped to prevent a student from
choking. Without hesitation, he stepped up and performed the
Heimlich Maneuver, which may have saved the student’s life. On top
of this heroic act, he has been an asset at his school for the last
34 years with unmatched professionalism. His school and community
rallied around him throughout the voting process, earning him
roughly 30% of the contest’s total votes.
“Custodians play a vital role in schools across the U.S. in
helping to keep students, faculty and staff healthy and safe,” said
John Barrett, Executive Director, ISSA. “At ISSA, we’re dedicated
to providing custodians and other cleaning professionals
certification programs to make their jobs easier and more
efficient. We’re excited to again offer our training services this
year to contest winners and finalists.”
In addition to the $10,000 cash prize from Cintas, the school
will receive $5,000 in products and services from Cintas and
Rubbermaid Commercial Products, along with a comprehensive training
and development package from ISSA, The Worldwide Cleaning Industry
Association, valued at $30,000. Mr. Henderson will also receive
enrollment in the GBAC Fundamentals Online Course that teaches
cleaning professionals to prepare for, respond to and recover from
biorisks in all types of facilities, from the Global Biorisk
Advisory Council™ (GBAC), a Division of ISSA.
Each of the remaining nine finalists will receive a cash prize
of $1,000 from Cintas and free tuition to one ISSA Cleaning
Management Institute (CMI) training event, valued at $1,500.
“This is an exciting moment for Mr. Henderson, and we’re proud
to take part in recognizing his achievement as the nation’s best
custodian,” shared Robert Posthauer, Sr. Vice President Sales and
Marketing, Rubbermaid Commercial Products.
