Missouri School Names Building After Devoted Custodian

A Missouri elementary school names one of its buildings after its devoted custodian, Claudene Wilson.
This longtime employee has taken on many roles at the small K-8 school, including welcoming students, coordinating transportation, serving lunch, and maintaining the facilities. Her dedication to the students has been unwavering for 30 years.

The Swedeborg School Board unanimously voted for the new name, the Claudene Wilson Learning Center, on August 26.

Wilson remains humble about the honor and recalls her typical workday, which often started at 6:00 AM and ended around 7:30 PM.

Despite being unconvinced that she deserves the recognition, Wilson is cherished by the whole community, including student Alex Lein, who aspires to be just like her.
