🎉 BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO MR. GARY! 🎉

Tonight, Mr. Gary received the Housekeeping Award, recognizing McCarter as having the cleanest building among all elementary schools in the district! 🏆

This comes as no surprise to us because Mr. Gary is simply the BEST! Not only does he keep our building absolutely immaculate, but he goes above and beyond every single day to make a difference in the lives of our staff, students, and community. He is such an important part of what makes McCarter special, and we are beyond thankful to have him on our team! 💜

P.S. This is the FOURTH time Mr. Gary has won this award! 👏👏👏

The next time you see Mr. Gary, be sure to give him a BIG congratulations! He has certainly earned it! 💜

Give it up for the man, the myth, the legend…. MR. GARY! Today is Custodial Appreciation Day, but Gary is so much more than a custodian. He build relationships with our staff and students and has even been known to sit down and do flash cards with kiddos every now and then 😊. We appreciate him every day, but we’re showing him a little extra love today! Help us shower him with all the wonderful words of encouragement and kindness in the comments!
