Cart donated to KHS
Knowing that the KHS custodial staff was in need of a motorized cart to care for their facilities, Flood purchased a cart and donated it to Kearny for their use. Below is a thank you email from Peter Johnson, facilities manager.
Dear Jim,
Here is the pictures of the new cart you donated to us that arrived today. It is Kearny color of Maroon and it will be a very useful tool for custodial and maintenance of our facilities for years to come.
The drop down sides of the truck bed back will be a blessing as it can hold 1100 lbs rated capacity. The lights were added for night work.
I can’t express how thoughtful and wonderful this is in words. We are the only high school in the district (there are 22 of them) that didn’t have a custodial cart or maintenance cart to use and call our own. The one you see us use on Sundays belongs to Athletics.
With all the budget cuts over recent years since I arrived at Kearny in Nov.’07, all hope of getting a maintenance cart was all but lost.
We’ve gone from 14 custodians to 5 in the time that I’ve been in the district for a high school. Our plant lies on a long hill from the canyon all the way to Mesa College Dr. and from Wellington to the U.S. Armory. We move furniture, equipment and trash up and down the hill from one end to the other.
This cart will be used well and often for so many things. As long as we have this cart, it will always be remembered as donated by FLOOD. You have made Kearny a better place with this donation and God bless you all for this.
Thank you.
Peter Johnson
