Cincinnati,
OH – May 2025 / NewsmakerAlert: Congratulations
to the 12th annual Cintas
Custodian of the Year contest winner, Dan Davis from Deerfield
Elementary School in Short Hills, New Jersey. After thousands of votes
were submitted, Cintas Corporation
(Nasdaq: CTAS) has crowned Dan Davis as the 2025 grand prize winner. Dan
was honored Tuesday (May 6) with a surprise ceremony by students, teachers,
staff and his family and was presented with a $10,000 check from Cintas.
“Too
often, the hard work of custodians goes unnoticed, yet they’re the unsung
heroes of our facilities, keeping them clean and safe,” said Emily
Ramos, Director of Marketing at Cintas. “Dan is a valued member of
his community and a role model for students. It was an honor to help celebrate
his well-deserved recognition.”

Dan
exemplifies what it means to go above and beyond as a school custodian.
He arrives each day with a smile and positive attitude, creating a welcoming
atmosphere throughout the school. His commitment is evident in how he keeps
the school clean and organized, and how quickly and willingly he responds
to unexpected challenges. The entire community values his reliability,
attention to detail, and uplifting presence. When a staff member broke
their foot, Dan didn’t hesitate to lend a hand, going out of his way to
help them in and out of their car. He’s also a familiar and friendly face
during drop-off and pick-up, always offering students a bright smile, an
enthusiastic hello or a fist bump that starts their day on the right note.
“Custodians
play a vital role in maintaining a safe, healthy school environment where
children can learn and thrive,” said John
Barrett, Executive Director of ISSA,
the worldwide cleaning industry association. “For over 100 years, ISSA
has been committed to advancing the cleaning industry. The training opportunities
we’re providing to this year’s finalists will help them build on their
skills and open the door to future leadership roles.”
In
addition to the $10,000 cash prize, Dan will receive $5,000 in Cintas and
Rubbermaid Commercial Products
and services for his school. His school also receives a comprehensive facility
assessment, valued at $20,000, in partnership with the ISSA Global Consulting
Network. Cintas will also award the winning school a pizza party for all
staff and students. Dan, along with the two other top three finalists,
will receive an all-expense-paid trip for two to the ISSA Show North America
in Las Vegas in November, where they’ll be celebrated for their accomplishments.
“Dan
Davis is extremely deserving of this title, and we are honored to be a
part of recognizing his hard work,” added Robert
Posthauer, SVP & GM, Rubbermaid Commercial Products.
