Texas school to honour retired custodian after 39 years’ service
Marilyn Hampton, 76, was surprised at an Aubrey school board meeting when trustees announced that the district’s fifth elementary school would be named after her. The tribute recognises nearly four decades of service and the lasting role she played in students’ lives.
Hampton worked as a custodian for Aubrey Independent School District for 39 years, retiring in 2022, and still helps care for young children at its Early Bird Learning Center. Superintendent Shannon Saylor said Hampton supported pupils in many ways, including helping them study, organising school supplies and encouraging them. The school is scheduled to open in August next year, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony planned when the building is ready.
