This week, our Thrive Thursday Spotlight is Joe Holguin, from Fairacres Elementary!
Keeping a school spotless is no small task, but Joe Holguin has been doing it with a smile and a splash of creativity! As the lead custodian at Fairacres Elementary School, Joe isn’t just sweeping floors; he’s sweeping students off their feet with his mentorship, kindness, and artistic talents.
From crafting incredible props for school events to turning ordinary decorations into works of art, Joe brings imagination to every corner of the campus. His creativity isn’t just seen, it’s felt in the excitement of students and staff alike. And when he's not making the school shine, he’s sharing his knowledge, skills, and creativity to teach and inspire students.
As Joe puts it, “When kids learn, we all learn.” Fairacres is lucky to have him—because a school doesn’t just need to be clean, it needs heart, and Joe has been providing plenty of it!
