There are so many moments throughout the school day that just quietly work—the floors are clean, the cafeteria is ready, a classroom is set just right, a small problem is fixed before it becomes a big one. It’s easy to take those things for granted, but behind each of them is a group of people who care deeply about our school and our kids.
In honor of National School Custodian Week, I want to take a moment to recognize and celebrate Brian McCabe, Cynthia Cormany, Terry McGonigle, and Jason McMahon. They are the steady, behind-the-scenes force that keeps Jarrettown running smoothly each and every day.
Of course, they do an outstanding job keeping our building clean, safe, and welcoming—but what really stands out is how they show up for our students. They greet kids with a smile, offer a helping hand, share a kind word, and take the time to build genuine connections. Those small interactions add up in a big way, helping to make our school feel like the warm and supportive place we all want it to be.
They are problem-solvers, fixers, early risers, and late stayers. More importantly, they are trusted adults in our building—people our students know and feel comfortable with. That matters.
We are incredibly fortunate to have Brian, Cynthia, Terry, and Jason as part of the Jarrettown community. Their work often happens in the background, but their impact is felt everywhere.
Please join me in thanking them for all they do—not just this week, but all year long. Thank you, Brian, Terry, Cynthia and Jason!!! You're the best!!
Together,
