Baldwin Custodians Keep Manassas Schools Shining Inside And Out
From long hours to last-minute needs, Orlando and the Baldwin custodial team go above and beyond every day.

Manassas, VA — Back-to-school season brings a mix of excitement and nerves — for students, parents and staff alike. Thankfully, Manassas is home to everyday school heroes who help make the transition smoother and the school year a little brighter.
From teachers and tutors to bus drivers, cafeteria staff, crossing guards and more, these caring individuals bring steady support and positivity to our schools. To recognize their many contributions — big and small — Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to salute the unsung heroes of back-to-school.
This submission comes from Teresa Bryson, who nominated Baldwin Custodians of Baldwin Intermediate/Elementary.

Please describe why this individual is a hero at your school.
The group of custodians worked so hard to have the beautiful school campus ready and available for all summer programs as well as most of the MCPS district professional development gatherings. The had so little time and manpower to get the school beautiful again for the new school year. And yet, they did. THANK YOU!
How do you know the school hero you’re nominating?
I retired this year from working at this school with this group of hard working custodians, since it's opening.
What should your community know about this person?
Orlando and his team are always available for the staff of 2 schools, working all day, everyday and even when the building is used outside of school hours which is every weekend. They are so good at their work that they are often asked to also share the custodial workload in other school buildings in Manassas. They all take such pride in thier work in this dustrict and most have had their own children in the school system with them.
What three words best describe the school hero?
Superior. Professional. Reliable.
