Tennant Opens Search for Top K-12 Custodian

Tennant Co. is now accepting nominations for its second-annual Custodians Are Key recognition program.

First launched in September 2019, the annual program recognizes the work K-12 custodians are doing in schools across the United States. Parents, teachers, and school administrators were invited to nominate custodians for their efforts to provide students with a healthy and safe educational environment through November 15. Tennant will then choose 12 finalists, who will each receive a US$500 gift card. The grand prize winner will be selected by May 14, 2021 and receives a prize valued at $5,000 while his or her school receives $10,000.

Kris Kantor, custodian at Hayes Elementary in Lakewood, Ohio, was crowned the grand prize winner of the inaugural round of Tennant’s Custodians Are Key program earlier this year.

Learn more about Kantor’s story in this CMM feature or watch an interview with him in Straight Talk with Jeff Cross.
