POST OF THE WEEK: ❤️ Staff Spotlight: Custodian Edgar Waters Inspires Through Love and Service
Edgar Waters lights up the hallways of A.C. Reynolds High School with love and positivity, giving both staff and students extra fuel for their “Rocket Pride.”
The 83-year-old part time custodian starts every day visiting the front office and classrooms around the school, giving fist bumps and sharing his call-and-response catchphrase: “Another God-given new day to be in Rocket…” with the answer, “Country.”
“I’m blessed to come every morning and speak to teachers and kids, just loving on them,” Waters said. “You never know what a person may be going through. If I can say something to lift them up, that’s what it’s all about.”
