Custodian appreciation event features raffle prizes, touching moment

The district celebrated school custodians from across Manatee County on Friday at Haile Middle School.

We couldn't do it without them!

There was lunch from Mission BBQ and a raffle with prizes donated by community business partners.

Rusty Moore, custodial supervisor for the school district, and his team handed out gift cards, baseball tickets and other items.

The grand prize went to Bobbie Privette from

Myakka City Elementary, who took home a brand new 65" TV.

Also, a special moment, as one of the catering team remembered head custodian, Frank Martens, from her days in school at Jessie P. Miller Elementary.

A small world... but just goes to show, custodial staff holds a special place in our hearts.
