  For the Excellence in Service Award this year, from Brookside Elementary, the PTA has chosen the head custodian, Mr. Rod Hall.  He was chosen because sometimes those who are working hard behind the scenes don’t always get the credit they deserve.  We appreciate all the hard work he does and the kindness he does it with.  Rod keeps a clean, safe school and he loves children.  It can be rare to have a custodian as loyal to both passions—keeping clean school and caring for students. He loves to interact with the children and make them smile and laugh. Thank you Mr. Hall for all your efforts to make Brookside a better place to be.
