The Polls are Open! Cintas Announces Top 10 Finalists in Nationwide Janitor of the Year Contest
CINCINNATI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–An elementary school janitor helps students study for their spelling
tests by quizzing them on their weekly words. Another janitor hands out
pencils bought with his own money on the first day of every month. These
are only two of the 10 amazing individuals for whom the public can cast
their ballot in Cintas
Corporation’s (NASDAQ: CTAS) 2017 Janitor of the Year Contest.
The Janitor of the Year contest aims to shine a spotlight on those who
work behind the scenes year-round to make schools a clean, safe and
positive place. Voting will be open through April 14 at www.cintas.com/JOTY.
“With over 1,200 nominations, it was more difficult than ever to
determine our top ten finalists,” said Jillian Bauer, Assistant
Marketing Manager, Cintas. “These janitors are the hearts and souls of
their schools. From saving the school play to teaching children new
languages, each one exudes positivity and acts as a role model. Now it’s
up to the schools and communities to rally behind their custodians.”
The 2017 Janitor of the Year will receive a $5,000 cash prize along with
$5,000 in products and services for his or her school from Cintas and
Rubbermaid Commercial Products – not to mention bragging rights. A $500
