    On my elementary school we had a man who always made lemonade for us, got us candy and gave us art lessons. (Without being paid, it was his "hobby") His name was Ed. Everyone called him Uncle Ed. When i was in 7th grade. He got sick, very sick. He got into a weelchair. His "Sidekick" a woman who always helped him with his "hobby" pushed the weelchair. It was heartbreaking. In 8th grade he received a Ribbon by the mayor of our town. A few weeks after he passed away. He was truly a hero.

    I will never forget my elementary janitor Mr.Lee. He went above and beyond his paygrade to make students happy. He knew I would very rarely bring anything to eat for lunch so he used to take me into his office and give me half of his sandwich and steamed rice. I hope that wherever he is today that he is in a good place.

      @Brandon S not true...many of the bathrooms that I have to clean we aren't able to use hoses...but being a custodian isn't just cleaning the bathroom it's the entire maintenance of the school grounds, from the landscaping, to fixing broken equipment, lights, moving furniture from classroom to classroom, setting up for assembly or big events along with the clean up, etc...no one knows the full scope of what we have to do on a daily basis at work...but at least we are paid at my school $20 an hour and the benefits are good if you are a permenent worker and not hired as a sub.

      I know you replied over a year ago, but I still clearly remember Curtis, our elementary school custodian. His birthday was Feb 29 and he had his 40th birthday in 1996. He was also a very friendly, kind, positive person and had my admiration for the work he did. He is a big reason I try to be thoughtful when in public. He has no idea the impact he had on me. Custodians mean a lot and people notice. Keep smiling!

    This is why he loves it there. They are all such sweet kids.
    In my elementary school we had this pair of custodians. 1 was tall and goofy looking(his ears were huge) and one short stout dude. They would pulls pranks on each other during the day, sung when we all came in and lined up to go to class, and when we left they waved us good bye and stood outside with us. When we graduated they got dressed up but stood his their signature stance. The tall guy leaned on a broom and the short one leaned against the way crossed armed. Each graduation they gave a speech. Its been 10 years and I can still see them standing there.

    We had a favorite janitor back when we were in elementary school. His name was Doug. (The teachers and administration called him "Douglass.") The boys would act out a little in class so they could go spend the day helping "Dougie." (The area was affluent; custodial work was considered punishment.) My brother was frequently one of the little boys helping Dougie. Here in Birmingham, Alabama, during the mid-70s, race relations were still mending. But we children were colorblind. Dougie is the one member of the school faculty whom we children loved best. My brother has asked me throughout my teaching career if we are lucky enough to have another "Dougie." Sadly, the answer has remained no for decades. Great custodians, but they tend to keep to themselves.

    Kudos to these kids for recognizing people in life who are underappreciated. I'll never forget our Alamo Heights High School janitor. He was an old black man, a WWII vet who still had Japanese wooden bullet fragments in his knee (because they ran out of lead). Huge dude, humble, kind to us all, and respected by absolutely everyone. Marteen. It's been a long time, but he certainly is not forgotten.

    This reminds me of a really nice custodian who everyone had known since they started attending the schools in our district. He would ask us what was wrong, cheer us up and even gave little toys and everything for being good. Last year (my junior year of high school) he was found in one of the grade schools, he was no longer with us. What had happend was that he had either had a heart attack while on a ladder and had fallen and hit his head or the other way around. Since my district is a small one everyone knew within 2 days. People later found out that he had no relatives or wife. So a bunch of people from my district attended his funeral. we knew then why he treated us like his own kids, he didn't have any. This man remembered everyones name until his final day. R.I.P Mr. Lee

Example my school crossing guard me and my siblings have been out of elementary school for 42 yrs we still remember the first day we met the cross guard she greeted every child as if they were her own. the elementary music teacher always had a caring heart the speech teacher amazing women who I found her daughter on facebook not long ago and let her know how much her mother meant to not only me but to the entire class. High school gym coach she made all of us want to take gym, the Music theory teacher who was young but made a great impression on each and everyone of us.
