Thank you Andover maintenance team! As we move about our normal daily schedule, it often doesn’t come to mind that the trash is empty, the bathrooms are clean, and the floors have been swept from the day before. Our maintenance staff makes sure that every room and area at our buildings are pristine each day for our students and patrons. Without all their hard work and dedication to students and to you, we could not continue to be as great as we are. Take a moment this week to stop your custodian or a maintenance personnel and tell them thank you for all the hard work they do. We are so lucky to have each and every one of them!
