“It’s really important for kids to go to a clean school,” he said.

The entire school planned a surprise party for the custodian to show their appreciation.

They told him that there was a spill in the gymnasium but when he walked in, all the children cheered for him.

When the school, along with Kleenex, gave him a check for $1,000, Mr. Patton was overcome with emotion.
