Boone County honors longtime custodian Tony Horton; business group presents donation for alternative education and winter gear
Summary
The board presented a 'Break the Mold' award to Tony Horton, head custodian at New Haven Elementary, and accepted a donation from the Boone County Business Association to support alternative education programs and a winter clothing drive.
The Boone County Board of Education recognized Tony Horton, head custodian at New Haven Elementary School and an 18-year employee, with the "Break the Mold" award during the meeting's "good news" segment.
Teachers, students and staff praised Horton—s work ethic and daily dedication. In brief remarks, Horton said the recognition was not about him. "It's never about me. It's always about the kids," he told the board and audience.
The board also invited representatives from the Boone County Business Association to the dais to present a check. The BCBA said its 25th annual golf outing raised funds to support the district—s alternative education programs in partnership with Potter's Ranch and to sponsor a holiday event providing coats, hats and gloves to children in need. The BCBA representative thanked volunteers and sponsors, including McDonald's and local supporters, for their help.
The recognitions highlighted local partnerships and community involvement in supporting district staff and student needs.
Next step: the formal staff photo and certificate presentations will proceed as arranged by the district; administrators noted appreciation for community support.
