March is School Maintenance Appreciation Month and we are blessed with the best. The admin team had this to say about our crew: “Our maintenance team is the best around. Each of them truly cares about making Harrisburg the best possible school for our students, and that really shows in their work ethic every single day. We appreciate the flexibility, effort and craftsmanship our maintenance team puts into our buildings and facilities. They have a wide variety of skills that not only help keep our schools functioning, but in top condition. Tommy, Matt, Robert, and Highschool Summer Staff thank you for all you do for our students, teachers, and community.” #Bulldawgpride
