FYI--thought you'd appreciate some positive feedback on school cleanliness from a CPS principal (one of our
better ones too).

Dear Mr. Ferguson:
With extreme pleasure and gratitude, I write a letter of recognition for Ms. Denise Jones, Custodial Manager for
Fiske Elementary School. Due to Denise's leadership and organizational skills, relationship building expertise,
team management moxie, and an overall commitment to the excellence towards customer service, Denise lead
her custodial team to victory by meeting the expectation of the Aramark cleaning project schedule for Fiske
School.
The Summer Bridge program created a challenge in scheduling for the Aramark summer cleaning project based
on the fact that every classroom in the building was in use; Fiske had over 400 students in attendance for
summer school. Additionally, the Fiske facility is comprised of two conjoined buildings with a total of 25
washrooms, 53 classrooms, 7 additional offices, etc., gymnasium, library, lunchroom, and 6 staircases and
corridors; the cleanup was completed within a 2 week and 1 day turnaround. Moreover, Denise emailed me
weekly updates informing me of the process, status and scheduled time lines for completion.
In summary, as principal, I have institutionalized aCulture of Pride as it pertains to the cleanliness of my
building. It is of the utmost importance to me that the engagement of teaching and learning and collaboration
take place in a "clean" culture and climate. Denise and I work very well together; she holds the same standards
of high expectation for her custodial team as I do my children, faculty and staff. I trust that Denise Jones is
deemed as a valued employee within the Aramark organization.
Educationally,
Cynthia J. Miller, Principal
