I wrote this for a school essay contest. We were suppose to write in 100 words or less Who makes Kershaw a Great School and Why?
What would school be like without a Janitor?
By, Alexis Parker
What would happen if you came to school and found a big mess? Have you ever wondered how many helpful things our janitor does to keep our school clean? If the garbages never got taken out, our school would smell foul. Once I saw Mr. Chandler fixing a sink in the bathroom. What would it be like if we couldn’t wash our hands before we ate lunch or after we went to the bathroom? We would all get sick. I am glad that he puts paper towels in our bathrooms and makes sure there is soap too.
Thanks, Mr. Chandler!

Sounds like a great essay to me, it’s great to hear that you are thanking him for doing the “thankless job”

That was a very thoughtful essay. Being thankful for those who help keep our world clean and neat is a real sign of maturity and goodness. Lots of people never notice the work of these people their whole lives. Even garbage men, street cleaners, and Moms fit in this categories. Keep up the good work Lexie.
