BY JASMYN GONZALEZ

Column: Learning to Grow Up"The Maintanance Guy" Helps Improve School Experience By JASMYN GONZALEZ
Did the water turn off? Call the maintenance guy! Did the lights go out? Call the maintenance guy! Are the bells off schedule? Call the maintenance guy! As you can see, our schools often run across problems as such. There have been issues at every school with its plumbing, electricity, etc. Whenever this happens the first person we call is always “the maintenance guy.” Chris Kivett is the “maintenance guy” at Redlands East Valley. His duties include taking care of our students and teachers at REV and ensuring that the day goes by smoothly. Kivett demonstrated this daily goal when he stated that when the students and teachers “...are able to go about their day…” the custodians and staff are “doing pretty good.” He further went on to say that, “if the students don’t notice…” him or any of the custodians throughout the day, they must be efficiently “...doing [their] job.” This not only shows the humility that custodians and maintenance worker have, but also the usual under-appreciation that they experience. To further emphasize the point, Chris Kivett states that he arrives to work everyday, “at six until 2:30.” This not only shows his diligence in his effort but also his dedication to each and every successful day at REV for the students and teachers. .. |
