They really did their part during the flu epidemic that swept the school in February. Dragging out special spray apparatus, they helped combat the virus by applying a fine mist of disinfectant in the cracks and seams of floors and walls. Although dead- ly to germs and virus, the spray was completely biodegradable and wouldn't harm students or any animals that might have strayed into the halls. We weren't sure about its affect on teachers! You'll find our operating engineers just about anytime of day, in all sorts of places, keeping the school in shape for day-to-day class activities. They work round the clock! Wi ,, ,aww , 4
