FHS students’ legacy project honors custodians
Before the school year ended, they cleaned and updated the school’s custodian closets and provided much needed chairs and a lunch table as part of their Custodian Appreciation Project.
“Every year, the National Honor Society board and students create what we call a legacy project, something they can leave to the school in their name,” said Allison Maldonado, faculty advisor for the society. “Last year, we built picnic tables for students to use outside.”
This year, “we had one Sunday we spent five hours demolishing and cleaning out the closets,” she said.
“But we didn’t get the shelving units in time, so we couldn’t take out the old shelving units on that day,” she said. “So, we had another day where I divided people up into teams. We had four teams.
“While one team was demolishing, taking down all the wooden shelving units, other teams were putting together the new shelving units,” Maldonado said. “Everyone was sweating. It was really hard work.”
The school has four custodian closets in the main building and a custodian workroom. The CTE building has its own closet and the gymnasium and auditorium building have their own closets as well.
