“The best part of my job as a custodial assistant is that I make a difference! Myself and my staff make sure that everyday our children walk into a clean and safe environment for them to learn and flourish in. I take great pride in making a positive impact on each and every child that walks through them doors through the work I do. Most importantly I'm learning more than ever about the daily and mechanical operations of our school buildings which will further my growth in the Philadelphia School District and make me more knowledgeable of what I need to do to better assist our children.”
