Today marks the end of an era as the McNair family bids farewell to Ms. Bertha Escobar, Building Supervisor at McNair Upper Elementary School, who is retiring after an incredible career in Fairfax County Public Schools.
For more than 20 years, Ms. Escobar has been an extraordinary part of the McNair community, and it is difficult to put into words just how much her dedication and service have meant to our students, staff, families, community members, and school. Throughout her years as our Building Supervisor, she has been the consummate professional—dependable, hardworking, knowledgeable, and always committed to making sure our building was a safe, welcoming, and well-cared-for place for everyone who walked through its doors.
Although much of Ms. Escobar’s work often happened behind the scenes, its impact was felt every single day. She approached every task, big or small, with pride and determination. Whether responding to an unexpected problem, preparing the building for a special event, helping a staff member, or simply making sure everything was ready for another day of learning, Ms. Escobar could always be counted on. Her incredible work ethic and willingness to go the extra mile have set an example that will not soon be forgotten.
More importantly, Ms. Escobar has been so much more than a Building Supervisor for the McNair community. She has been a familiar and trusted face, a problem-solver, a helping hand, and an important member of our school family. Twenty years of service represents countless hours, thousands of tasks completed, and innumerable ways Ms. Escobar has made our school a better place to work and learn. Her commitment to our school community has left a lasting mark, and generations of students and staff have benefited from her dedication.
As Ms. Escobar begins her next chapter; we are all deeply grateful for everything she has given to our school. Her hard work, professionalism, loyalty, and genuine care for our school community will be greatly missed. While we are sad to see her retire, we are also incredibly happy for Ms. Escobar and hope this next chapter brings her the time, relaxation, and joy she has more than earned.
Thank you for more than two decades of outstanding service to the McNair community, Ms. Escobar! We thank her for always showing up, always doing the job well, and always caring about our school. Her contributions will remain a meaningful part of our school's story, and she will always be a valued member of our Mustang family. Please join me in congratulating Ms. Escobar on her retirement, and thanking her for an incredible 20+ years of service to not only the McNair community, but Fairfax County Public Schools!
