2. What do you enjoy most about being Head Custodian for R.C. Waters?

- The hardest task is keeping the restrooms smelling and looking fresh. That's all I'm going to say about that!
4. Can you explain what a typical day looks like for you?
- My day starts at 5 A.M. checking on the boilers and unlocking classroom doors. The wastebaskets in classrooms are emptied and floors are dust mopped or swept, pencil sharpeners emptied, desk/table tops cleaned. The restrooms are re-stocked, wastebaskets emptied, wiped down, and mopped. Then there is the gym, art and music rooms and Special Ed room to be cleaned. I finish up my day at 1:30 P.M. by helping to clean up the cafeteria, wiping tables, sweeping and putting tables back down.
5. Please tell us a fun fact about you?
- I love to square dance. My husband and I don't attend as many dances as we did yearsssss ago, but we love it!

Oak Harbor Middle School Honors Veterans in an Extra Special Way!
This year’s Veterans Day program at Oak Harbor Middle School was extra special.
On Thursday, state education officials honored the school with the Purple Star Award during a ceremony in front of students, staff and families with veterans. Oak Harbor Middle School was one of eight statewide institutions to receive the honor, which recognizes a school’s commitment to military families.
With many students dressed in red, white and blue, Thursday’s ceremony also included student performances of patriotic songs and a breakfast for veterans.
“Today's program was inspiring and powerful for both the students and the veterans who were in attendance. I was very proud to attend,” district superintendent Guy Parmigian said. “The program helped to show our students what military service means to our community and nation.”
The award is given out by a board that includes the Ohio departments of education, higher education, veterans services and adjutant general who help decide which schools are eligible. Parmigian said the middle school is identifying students and families with current military or veteran parents and guardians. The database is in the works and will be found on the district’s website to allow parents to register as a military family.
“Once we have a list developed, we plan to reach out to all our families to provide periodic updates not only with community resources but military updates that the school may receive from our contacts,” Parmigian said. “We would also like to provide verbal and written support to the military families and continue to maintain an open line of communication with the parents to provide support and guidance for their children during difficult times of deployment.”
Parmigian also noted teachers at the middle school are informed of new students in military families with specific needs.
