It was the 30th classroom reun-

ion The room was full of conver-

sation about who had married the

head cheerleader the star athlete

which classmates had passed away

who was divorced and of course

the one topic that is at every reun-

ion---HOW MANY DEGREES

had been achieved

One person in attendance was of

a religious order and gave the in-

vocation to start the nightrsquos activi-

ties After a mouth-watering din-

ner of tender T-bone steak cooked

to perfection baked potato smoth-

ered in butter chives bacon bits a

garden salad swimming in fat free

raspberry walnut vinaigrette dress-

ing and Texas sweet tea it was

time to get down to businessmdash

Those in attendance were asked

to take center stage and share some

aspect of their livesmdashtravels ac-

complishments future goals new

experiences The participants one

by one got up to speak on being a

grandparent for the first time trav-

eling to Canada on a business trip

and being elected mayor One per-

son was excited to have opened a

bakery another was looking for-

ward to opening his first car dealer-

ship yet another one was grateful

to be retired from the armed ser-

vices with a healthy body and

mind After a while people were

just talking about how many de-

grees they had in this field or that

field The audience could be seen

yawning and bobbing their heads

These speakers had been heard be-

fore at every other reunion Then

from the back of the room stands

this person to take center stage a

person who had been at every class

reunion but had never felt the need

to break the monotony until nowhellip

He proudly stands tall with the

microphone in his hand and clearly

stated ldquoIrsquom a custodian yoursquore a

custodian everyonersquos a custodianrdquo

The audience took notice of this

speaker and questioned his state-

ments---what was this person say-

ing

The person went on to say

ldquoThere are two definitions for the

word custodian One of the defini-

tions is lsquoa person responsible for

the care of a buildingrsquo This occu-

pation is intensive With gloves

and cleansers in tow custodians

see to it that bacteria and germs do

not find lsquoWelcomersquo signs and

should you amble into any part of a

building rest assured that the floors

will shine windows are smudge

free and when nature calls the re-

strooms with their lavender scent

are refreshing The building is ac-

cident free from spills broken glass

or debris that can cause bodily harm

Itrsquos back breaking work with all the

responsibilities and demands attached to it but a custodianrsquos touch is essen-

tial for any organization conducting

daily business The audience had stopped yawning

and bobbing their heads and seemed

to be eagerly anticipating the speakerrsquos next wordshellip

In an authoritative voice the speak-

er said ldquoThe second definition of the

word custodian is lsquoa person who cares for another person a guardian a

keeperrsquo With this said letrsquos talk

about our countryrsquos greatest asset---its children The first custodians a child

has are the parents The parents are

first in nurturing their childrsquos body

mind and spirit The parents may have to rely on the medical profession-

als to be the custodians for the childrsquos

bodily and mental health To keep nurturing their child parents may seek

certain church affiliations enrollment

in community activities surround the child with a group of children his age

at a reputable daycare or simply one

parent decides to stay home and take

care of this little one who one day will become part of our countryrsquos future

Before long the child is ready for

school where he will spend most of their formative years more time than

they spend at home---scary thought for

some parents Most parents realize that once their young one is ready for

school he is on the way to getting pre-

pared to meet the challenges of whatrsquos

out of their comfort zone and safety net of the home and parentsrdquo

Now the audience was really atten-

tive to the point that no one was get-ting up not even to get more of the

spiced up drinks The speaker contin-

uedhellip

ldquoThe parent holding on tight to their young onersquos sweaty hand has

teary eyes and does a great job of

holding back the river of tears pushing to show themselves Theyrsquore walking

into the SCHOOL For some children

this is the day theyrsquove been waiting for 4 or 5 years of their whole life They

are as excited as when they get to eat

all they want of their favorite ice

cream at a birthday party As soon as they walk into the building the child

says ldquoWmdashOmdashW the floor is so shiny I can see you holding my hand

Even before they get to their assigned

classroom a nurse comes out of his

office and welcomes them both to the school and says ldquoDonrsquot worry about

your childrsquos medical needs Irsquom here

to tend to the needsrdquo The parent takes a quick detour to the cafeteria and no-

tices the clean tables and benches not

to mention the shiny floor Greetings come from the cafeteria workers as

they prepare the dayrsquos mealsmdashthe aro-

ma from the nutritious food is so invit-

ing Not to worry the child will be served wholesome brain food The

parent gets back on the trail to the

childrsquos classroom and notices the school bus arriving with laughing

smiling and even some crying chil-

dren The bus driver makes sure every child is off the bus and takes the cry-

ing children to the school personnel

waiting right outside the bus to escort

them to the cafeteria for breakfast and to their classrooms The parent sees

the crying children comforted and re-

assured with a soft gentle voice ldquoEverything will be okay and yoursquore

going to have a super dayrdquo The par-

ent proceeds to the classroom the

child no longer holding on to his parentrsquos hand ldquo

The speaker accepts a glass of icy

cold water that a member of the audi-ence zooms up to the center stage He

recognizes the member as one of his

working buddies The buddy gives the speaker a lsquothumbs uprsquo The speaker

goes onhellip

ldquoThe parent recognizes the adminis-

trator of the school He is making the early hour school inspection for safety

and hygiene of the building and is

welcoming the parents and students to the start of a new productive and won-

derful school year The librarian and

counselor are ushering the parents to the correct classroom wing Therersquos

much exciting buzzing from all the

campus students Upon arriving at the

classroom thatrsquos going to be the lsquohome away from homersquo for his young

child the teacher and the assistant

greet the child with a warm smile with praises for arriving to school on time

The parent gives the child one last hug

and turns away with tears tears of re-

lief knowing his child is in the best possible learning and socializing envi-

ronmentrdquo

The speaker takes a long drink of the icy cold water and continueshellip

ldquoThe parent exited the classroom

and on the way out the school secre-tary and support staff waved to wish

the parent a wonderful day Once out-

side the school building the coach and his assistants could be seen directing

traffic of vehicles and older children

as they were dropped off at the en-

trance of the school A police officer drove by slowly at the drop off point

to observe that everybody was follow-

ing safety rules The parent drove away anxiously waiting for the hour

to pick up the young child from

school The dinner hour would be full of chatter from the child about the first

day of school that finally came around

after waiting for all their 4 or 5 years

of liferdquo The speaker took a deep breath

before proceedinghellip

ldquoWhen everything is said and done some will have certificates to remove

from their walls others may just have

a box full of pictures and simple hand-made thank you cards from the chil-

dren who were given some kind words

of encouragement or much needed

praising maybe presented with a re-quired item from a box of school sup-

plies bought during summer sales The

verbal appreciation a child expresses for kind deeds extended to himmdashwill

be fossilized in some of our hearts

Everyone has heard the expression lsquoIt

takes a village to raise a childrsquo Irsquod like to add this to the expression It

takes a home neighborhood town

city state country to raise a child to become a productive citizen and be

proud of accomplishments in life

however few or manyrdquo The speaker could see some of the

audience in deep thought as to be ask-

ing themselves ldquoHave I used my posi-

tion in life to be the best custodian in order for our countryrsquos greatest as-

setmdashour children to carve a beautiful

future for all of us one day they will be working and running this state this

country The speaker had just a little

more to sayhellip

ldquoIn any ORGANization everybody

pulls together to be successful Just

like in the human body each organ

depends on other organs to have a

healthy operating structure The heart

as important as it is cannot function

without the brain and the brain with-

out the other organs cannot fulfill its

responsibilities We all NEED each

other so as I stated at the beginning

lsquoIrsquom a custodian yoursquore a custodian --

-as the speaker was about to make his

last remarks the whole audience got

on their feet and joined him in saying

at the top of their voices

ldquoEVERYONErsquoS A CUSTODIANrdquo

Prayer to Saint Christopher

Saint of Strength

Grant me O Lord a steady hand and

watchful eye That no one shall be hurt as

I pass by

You gave life I pray no act of mine may

take away or mar that gift of thine

Shelter those dear Lord who bear my

company from the evils of fire and all

calamity

Teach me to use my car for others need

nor miss through love of undue speed

The beauty of the world

That thus I may with joy and courtesy go on my way

St Christopher holy patron of travelers protect me and

lead me safely to my destiny

Amen

Our guardian angel is assigned to protect and

guide us during our life here on Earth They also

come to our aide during stressful times

Angels are willing to communicate with us but

most of the time we are too busy to listen Being attentive to our guardian angel we can receive

subtle messages that will help in our daily lives

You may ask your guardian angel a question but

you must ask out loud and in a clear and concise

voice Do not ask frivolous questions Your an-

swer will always be tangible and explicit

If you were born on a Friday your guardian

angel is St Jhudiel

Prayer to St Jhudiel O merciful Archangel St Jhudiel dispenser of Godrsquos

eternal and abundant mercy Because of our sinful-

ness we do not deserve Godrsquos forgiveness Yet He continually grants us forbearance

freely and lovingly Help us in our determination to overcome our sinful habits and be

truly sorry for them Bring each one of us to true conversion of heart That we may ex-

perience the joy of reconciliation which it brings without which neither we as individ-

uals nor the whole world can know true peace You who continually intercede for us

listen to our prayers Present to God our Father all these petitions through Jesus Christ

our Lord together with the Holy Spirit forever and ever

Amen

of liferdquo The speaker took a deep breath

before proceedinghellip

ldquoWhen everything is said and done some will have certificates to remove

from their walls others may just have

a box full of pictures and simple hand-made thank you cards from the chil-

dren who were given some kind words

of encouragement or much needed

praising maybe presented with a re-quired item from a box of school sup-

plies bought during summer sales The

verbal appreciation a child expresses for kind deeds extended to himmdashwill

be fossilized in some of our hearts

Everyone has heard the expression lsquoIt

takes a village to raise a childrsquo Irsquod like to add this to the expression It

takes a home neighborhood town

city state country to raise a child to become a productive citizen and be

proud of accomplishments in life

however few or manyrdquo The speaker could see some of the

audience in deep thought as to be ask-

ing themselves ldquoHave I used my posi-

tion in life to be the best custodian in order for our countryrsquos greatest as-

setmdashour children to carve a beautiful

future for all of us one day they will be working and running this state this

country The speaker had just a little

more to sayhellip

ldquoIn any ORGANization everybody

pulls together to be successful Just

like in the human body each organ

depends on other organs to have a

healthy operating structure The heart

as important as it is cannot function

without the brain and the brain with-

out the other organs cannot fulfill its

responsibilities We all NEED each

other so as I stated at the beginning

lsquoIrsquom a custodian yoursquore a custodian --

-as the speaker was about to make his

last remarks the whole audience got

on their feet and joined him in saying

at the top of their voices

ldquoEVERYONErsquoS A CUSTODIANrdquo

Irsquom a Custodian Yoursquore a Custodian Everyonersquos a Custodian By Elena Juaacuterez and Roberto Juaacuterez

Prayer to Saint Christopher

Saint of Strength

Grant me O Lord a steady hand and

watchful eye That no one shall be hurt as

I pass by

You gave life I pray no act of mine may

take away or mar that gift of thine

Shelter those dear Lord who bear my

company from the evils of fire and all

calamity

Teach me to use my car for others need

nor miss through love of undue speed

The beauty of the world

That thus I may with joy and courtesy go on my way

St Christopher holy patron of travelers protect me and

lead me safely to my destiny

Amen

Our guardian angel is assigned to protect and

guide us during our life here on Earth They also

come to our aide during stressful times

Angels are willing to communicate with us but

most of the time we are too busy to listen Being attentive to our guardian angel we can receive

subtle messages that will help in our daily lives

You may ask your guardian angel a question but

you must ask out loud and in a clear and concise

voice Do not ask frivolous questions Your an-

swer will always be tangible and explicit

If you were born on a Friday your guardian

angel is St Jhudiel

Prayer to St Jhudiel O merciful Archangel St Jhudiel dispenser of Godrsquos

eternal and abundant mercy Because of our sinful-

ness we do not deserve Godrsquos forgiveness Yet He continually grants us forbearance

freely and lovingly Help us in our determination to overcome our sinful habits and be

truly sorry for them Bring each one of us to true conversion of heart That we may ex-

perience the joy of reconciliation which it brings without which neither we as individ-

uals nor the whole world can know true peace You who continually intercede for us

listen to our prayers Present to God our Father all these petitions through Jesus Christ

our Lord together with the Holy Spirit forever and ever

Amen
