✨ Happy National School Custodial Day! ✨ Today we celebrate our amazing custodial team — Teddy, Cheryl, Evan, & Alex — who work so hard every single day to keep Oakdale shining and up to the highest standards. 💙🚀 Our middle schoolers joined in the celebration by collecting money to gift each custodian and writing heartfelt notes of appreciation. 📝🎁 What an awesome way to show gratitude! 🙌 Thank you to our custodial crew — you are the behind-the-scenes heroes of Oakdale, and we couldn’t do it without you! 🌟 #ProudToBeARocket #CustodialAppreciation #OakdaleStrong #ThankYou
