The Rock Star Janitor

from Transformation Cafe Hosted by Transformation Cafe

Host Robin Masiewicz and Cafe regular Gloria talk about the story of a grade-school janitor who is so popular with the students that the entire second grade class at Alan Shepard elementary stood in line to get his autograph at the end of the school year. A picture of the kids standing in line (below) was posted online and quickly gained over three MILLION views in a matter of hours. "On June 2, students at Alan Shepard Elementary School in Bourbonnais, Illinois were given a designated time where they could exchange and sign yearbooks. However, it was Mr. Steve who was getting all the attention." How do people like "Mr. Steve" Weidner, the janitor, have such a profound affect on children? Is he really a superstar, or is this just media hype? Check out this week's discussion about role models and how important people like janitors, teachers, crossing guards, grandparents, and other people can have a great impact on our lives.
