This past Wednesday, October 2nd, was Custodians Appreciation Day, and we want to take a moment to recognize and thank our incredible custodial team. Thank you Ms. Frimpong, Ms. Hernandez, Ms. Jackson, Mr. Elmond, and Mr. Tran. Every day, from early mornings to late evenings, they work tirelessly to ensure our school is clean, safe, and running smoothly.

We are so fortunate to have such a dedicated, collaborative group of professionals who take pride in keeping Navy Elementary at its best for our students, staff, and community. Many of our students showed their appreciation by making cards and expressing their gratitude, and we couldn’t be more proud of the kindness and respect they demonstrated.

Please join us in extending a big thank you to our custodians for all that they do!
