The Heartwarming Reason 1 Custodian Wows Students With Carpet Artwork
A nighttime custodian at Peter Woodbury School in New Hampshire has figured out a way to get kids excited to come to class by surprising students every day with a heartfelt treat. Ron Munsey creates adorable works of art vacuumed into the carpet after he tidies up classes during the evening. Each morning, the kids come in to find unique designs - from Charlie Brown to the White House - waiting for them.
Assistant Principal Dan Mitchell explained that because Munsey's shift is when the kids are gone, they oftentimes miss out on forming connections with the night staff - but Munsey is going out of his way to change that. "It really drives home the point that there are so many people that come in here after you're gone and they work so hard to make a safe, comfortable, and happy place for you to learn," Mitchell told ABC News. "He's an employee of the school but he's a stranger to the kids so to take that extra time with these small gestures really drives home that personal connection."
As a first-grade teacher whose students love coming into class to see what masterpiece awaits them, Angie Wyand sees firsthand the joy that Munsey brings to the children. "He's obviously putting his time and creativity into something you'd think was a simple job but he's taking it to the next level," Wyand told ABC News. "He just goes above and beyond each night."
A major Red Sox fan, Munsey told Inside Edition that he was first inspired to make these carpet designs after noticing the lines mowed into the grass at his favorite baseball stadium. "I call the rugs my miniature Fenway Park," Munsey said.
Munsey spends about five minutes on the daily designs, but his special contribution has a lasting impact on his students' days. "I met a parent yesterday and they actually said thank you. Her daughter talks about it every day when she comes home," Munsey said.
