Jay is a deaf custodian in Bonneville Joint School District 93. He worked at Ammon Elementary and is now at Willow Creek Elementary, where he hands out candy and high fives, writes notes on the boards, and hangs lost clothing on the wall with funny messages. Staff nominated him for Feel Good Friday, and EastIdahoNews.com showed up to surprise him.
The nomination is about the way he does the work, including the jobs nobody lines up for, and the small greetings the children count on.
