1. Why do you like being a janitor here at our school?

Henry: “I like it because I feel like I’m helping the school run smoothly. When the classrooms and campus are clean, students can focus better on learning. I also enjoy seeing the students every day and being part of the school community.”

Caesar: “It is small and calm.”

2. What are the best parts of your job? Hardest parts?

Henry: “The best part is knowing that what I do helps everyone here. When the school is clean and organized, it makes a difference for teachers and students.

The hardest part is that there’s always something to do. Schools are busy places, so things can get messy fast. But that’s part of the job, and I just keep working to stay on top of it.”

Cesar: “I can interact with kids and adults. The hardest part is walking!”

3. What are some things you do that we don’t even notice?

Henry: “A lot of the work happens early in the morning or after school when students aren’t around. Things like fixing small problems, cleaning areas people don’t think about, taking care of spills, and making sure bathrooms and classrooms are ready for the next day.”

Cesar: “The thing that doesn't really get noticed is that I take care of our school.”

4. How is being a school janitor different from working in an office building?

Henry: A school is much more active. There are students everywhere, sports, lunches, and lots of movement. In an office building, things are usually quieter. In a school, every day is different, and there’s always something going on.

Caesar: “The difference is instead of working inside an office, I mostly work outside all day.”

WCSA will celebrate Earth Day on April 24th!

We will celebrate the environment and there will be a recycled art contest and a recycled fashion show! It has been years since we have had an Earth Day Celebration.

The WCSA Green team is planning the event.

There will be bubbles, seed balls, mosaics, crafts, games, snacks, and the smoothie bike! 

Ooh cool.

Guess what? This year, we are doing Mean Girls Jr. for the spring play! We are so excited for it. Here are the people who are helping:

• Director: Teacher Bobby

• Organizer: Miss Pozzi

• Vocal Director: Marley

• Co-Director: Ian

• Stage Manager: Brooke

• Stage Manager: Ms. Gill

• Dance Choreographer/Teacher: Izzy 

• Costume Designer: Gaby 

We do the spring Musical because there are people who grew up doing theater, as well as students who want to start acting. The spring musical is always fun because teacher Bobby does something different each year and makes us guess what the musical will be. In addition, it has been a tradition at WCSA to perform a spring musical. Our first rehearsal was a read-through of the entire play! It is very funny, and the music is great.
