Emilio and Linda are custodians at Vineyard Ranch Elementary School. They are so invested in the school, it is more like a family to them than a workplace. Emilio and Linda go out of their way to decorate the teachers’ lounge for every holiday. They also decorated the atrium for Hispanic Heritage Month. And when school staff wanted to figure out how to motivate students to use good manners and not be too loud at lunch, they created the school’s famous giant golden spoon that hangs in the cafeteria. Cafeteria aides award golden spoon trophies to tables who are doing a good job of staying seated, talking in a regular voice and using nice manners. Not only do they keep the campus spotless, they also make it a fun place to be.
