Ms. Harkness and Ms. Hagan got together with the teachers and purchased for each custodian: gift cards, candies, and "thank you" cards signed and/or written by the students. The faculty and administration on the second floor of the ECRC also gave the staff gifts of appreciation. The custodial staff decided to take a group picture with the words "THANK YOU" printed on the picture to show how grateful they were for their kindness.
