Two sixth-grade students nominated their janitor for a Feel Good Friday surprise from Ashley Home Furniture. The janitor in question is Leslie Pitman – aka “Joe” and he is described as a friend to every student. Covid has made his life harder due to the night shift janitor getting sick and his equipment not being reliable. Joe has been working at Rimrock Elementary for 16 years and Ashley Home Furniture celebrated his dedication by giving him a gift card for Cabela’s and another to go out for a nice dinner! Thanks Joe!
