At the annual Berkley Education Foundation fundraising event, Off to the Races, District custodians have the option to donate a Jr. Custodian for a Day Package for the silent auction. This package includes an opportunity for students to spend part of a day learning what custodians do to keep buildings safe and clean for students and staff, while forming a deeper relationship with our custodial team.
In early May, Berkley Building Blocks (BBB) student Jacob spent the morning with BBB Head Custodian, Harry Jemkort doing various projects around the school. Jacob lent a helping hand hanging a paper towel holder, helping Mr. Harry move tools and learned how to use a drill.
