STAMFORD—The work of school custodians is appreciated by everyone, but much of it tends to be invisible or unnoticed. However, earlier this month, the Catholic Academy of Stamford made sure one of their most valued employees got his flowers.
Al Calderon, who has been a custodian at Catholic Academy since its opening in 2017, was honored by the school’s student body on October 2—National Custodian Day. Calderon has worked in the Catholic school system at large for over 30 years.
“Everyone at CAS wanted to show him how loved and appreciated he is for all of his tremendous hard work around CAS,” said Jen Hanley, Catholic Academy’s director of marketing and communication. “The entire school gathered and presented gifts and cards to Mr. Al and sang to him.”
Catholic Academy of Stamford serves grades PreK through 8 and is located on Newfield Avenue in Stamford. To learn more, visit catholicacademystamford.org.
