Honoring Scotty tomorrow night

Where has this week gone? I have been so busy this week I can not believe it. I have a very big weekend ahead of me. We are giving our custodian, "Scotty" a huge retirement party tomorrow night. He has been working in our school for 30 years. He is the most inspirational, wonderful, kindhearted man I have ever met. We have been planning this retirement party for over 6 months now. It is going to be Wonderful. He deserves every hour and preparation we have put into this party. We rented a church hall, having a catered dinner, music, a program and there are over 120 people coming. He is going to be so honored. I can not wait. If anyone has ever met him, you would know what a great person he is. He not only takes care of our school physically, we have the shiniest floors in Capital School District. He knows EACH and EVERY one of our students by name. Takes time to come in early every single day to talk to our kids. He knows all of our staff and knows our families. He CARES about everyone and everything he does. He is just an amazing human being. We just do not know what we are going to do without him. He said he was going to substitute with us and go on our field trips with us so that he can spend time with our kids. That is just the type of person he is. I do not know of any other custodian who genuinely wants to spend time with our kids. Usually custodians come in after the kids leave, clean the school half fast, and then go on their way. NOT James "Scotty" Scott. He is just an inspiration to us all. So tomorrow will be his night. I will let you know how the party went on a later post.
