Nominate a hardworking school custodian through
February 9
School custodians play a vital role in creating a successful
learning environment – inside and outside the classroom. However,
their extensive schedules and strenuous duties often go unnoticed.
Today, Cintas Corporation (Nasdaq: CTAS) launches its 11th annual
Cintas Custodian of the Year contest, which honors exceptional
school custodians. Submit nominations at custodianoftheyear.com
through February 9.
“Custodians are the force behind a clean, safe and welcoming
space for students to learn and succeed,” said Christiny Betsch,
Marketing Manager, Cintas. “For the last 10 years, we’ve had the
honor of celebrating one-of-a-kind custodians with remarkable
stories. We're ecstatic to honor custodians once again in our 11th
year of this contest.”
Cintas will award $10,000 to the winning custodian and $5,000 in
Cintas and Rubbermaid products and services to the winner’s school.
On top of that, the winner’s school will receive a complete
facility assessment and Cleaning Industry Management Standard
(CIMS) Advanced by GBAC certification from ISSA, The Worldwide
Cleaning Industry Association, valued at $20,000. The other nine
finalists will receive $1,000 each from Cintas, a cleaning supply
package from Rubbermaid and complimentary tuition to one ISSA
Cleaning Management Institute (CMI) virtual training event, valued
at $1,500. The Top 3 finalists will also receive an
all-expense-paid trip for two to the ISSA Show North America in Las
Vegas in November where they’ll be celebrated for their
accomplishments.
“It’s important to show appreciation to school custodians for
the important work they do in establishing healthy learning
environments,” said John Barrett, Executive Director, ISSA. “ISSA
is proud to take part in this contest and looks forward to
celebrating outstanding custodians across the U.S.”
Last year, Cintas Corporation awarded Richard “Mr. Rich” Toomey
of Kelly Mill Elementary in Cumming, Ga. as the 2023 Cintas
Custodian of the Year. To celebrate Mr. Rich, students, family and
staff honored him with a surprise ceremony, complete with a
confetti cannon line and balloon arch as well as endless cheering
and high-fives.
The Cintas Custodian of the Year contest is open to all
elementary, middle, high school, college and university custodians
who have worked at their school for at least two years. Nominations
must be 500 words or less on why the nominee is deserving of the
award and submitted by February 9. Cintas will announce the top 10
finalists on March 5. The public can vote for their favorite
custodian through April 12, and the finalist with the most votes
will be crowned Custodian of the Year in the spring.
Rubbermaid Commercial Products’ Sr. Vice President and GM of
Commercial Business Robert Posthauer added: “Taking on the
responsibility of providing a healthy learning environment for
students is no easy feat. We look forward to another year of taking
part in honoring custodians who help make it possible for students
to prosper at school.”
