During the summer break, while students and teachers are away, the dedicated maintenance, grounds crew, and custodial staff have been working tirelessly to ensure that all our schools within the corporation are clean, safe, and well-maintained for the return of the students this upcoming school year. Working all year round, and behind the scenes, these superheroes of the school system play a pivotal role in supporting the students, staff, and keeping our schools in great shape. Thank you to all the maintenance, grounds crew, and custodial staff, it is because of all of you that we have amazing schools! Maintenance, grounds crew, and custodial staff have been busy at Rome City Elementary lately. A large tree was removed by the playground to ensure the safety of the students. The gymnasium, and hallways received a fresh wax these past few days, and they are shining like a new penny! The art classroom is in the process of getting a remodeling done, its cabinets painted and will look amazing just in time for the students. New bulletin boards have been placed in various classrooms, the bathrooms are getting freshly painted, the tables and chairs are getting a fresh clean, and much more! Our seven schools in our corporation do not deserve the great maintenance, custodial, and ground crews that play a pivotal role in keeping the buildings running all year round. Thank you!
