"Give Maintenance a Break Day"

Sixth grade girls all got together as a group recently to discuss ideas for Outreach projects we can do internally in the Middle School. The girls suggested having a monthly "Give Maintenance a Break" day, where they would spend their advisory period taking over the task of cleaning up the atrium after snack and resetting it for lunch. During this time, Mr. Artis and Mrs. Price, who usually do the cleaning, will get to put their feet up! In addition to doing the work, the girls wanted to provide treats for the whole Maintenance Department to show our appreciation for their valuable contributions to our school. Our first "Give Maintenance a Break" day was today and it was a great success!

This picture is SO posed! These two wouldn't stop working no matter what we said or did... hopefully they will take a real rest at our next day in October. They deserve it! Treats being delivered to the Maintenance office in the Lower School:
