🧡NOTES OF GRATITUDE 🧡
Jose Rodriguez is the head custodian at Robert Asp Elementary, but he has also been driving a bus to help with driver shortages.
We received a wonderful message about Jose that we would like to share! "I wanted to write a quick note of gratitude to my first-grade son’s school bus driver, Jose. He brings my son home from SGR every day and is so kind, courteous and helpful. My son feels very safe with him, and I feel comforted knowing he is in good hands after school. I am very grateful to Jose for driving bus because that extra time is valuable for my work. Thank you again to Jose for being so wonderful. He is a blessing to our family!"
Moorhead Schools is very grateful for staff like Jose, that go above and beyond for our students and families. Thank you for everything you do. 👏👏👏#WeAreSpuds
