There are some people in a school whose work can be seen everywhere you look, and our custodial team is definitely one of them!
🐻 Mr. Roberto Villatoro
🐻 Ms. Brandy Spear
From early mornings to busy school days, Mr. Roberto and Ms. Brandy work incredibly hard to keep Westover clean, safe, welcoming, and ready for our Bears each and every day. And anyone who works in a school knows their job involves MUCH more than a mop and a broom! ❤️
They clean up our messes, take care of our building, lend a helping hand wherever it’s needed, and somehow manage to keep smiling through it all. Their hard work often happens behind the scenes, but it certainly does not go unnoticed!
We are so thankful for Mr. Roberto and Ms. Brandy and everything they do to take care of our school, our students, and our staff. Westover wouldn’t shine quite as brightly without them! ✨🐻💙
Help us give a BIG Bear thank-you to our wonderful custodial team!
