National Custodial Workers Recognition Day
About National Custodial Workers Day
When is National Custodial Workers Day? This holiday is always observed on October 2
National Custodial Workers Day is today, an October 2 holiday. Give your custodial worker a big thanks. At your school, church, place of employment, and a variety of other places, your custodial support are silently at work all year long. Indeed, they are the workers who clean and keep in good repair, the facility that you enjoy. Janitors seldom get recognition. Yet, they are usually in the background or “behind” the scene.
Take a minute on this day, to seek out custodial workers at your facility. Give them a big “TY” for all that they do to keep the facility sparkling and running like a top.
While we don’t usually give it a thought, a custodian of children or special needs adults are also custodial workers. So, let’s give them a big “TY” today, too.
If you are a custodial worker, we wish you a very happy National Custodial Workers Day!
