During last week’s historic blizzard, North Ed custodial staff worked all day Tuesday and Wednesday to clear snow from the walkways on all North Ed campuses. For many, that meant shoveling out of their own driveways and neighborhoods when roads were not yet clear and navigating North Ed grounds before our plow service arrived! Thank you for going above and beyond to ensure North Ed students and staff could quickly return to school and safely access our facilities
