Crest Hill, IL\u00a0<\/strong>\u2014 Teachers and principals at Diocese of Joliet Catholic elementary schools have one less thing to ask Santa for this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The schools \u2013 located throughout DuPage, Will, Kendall, Grundy and Kankakee counties, received a truckload of O-Cedar ProMist MAX Spray Mops donated by Aurora\u2019s Freudenberg Household Products, LP, December 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elaine Lohse, a parent from Saints Peter and Paul Catholic School in Naperville \u2013 and Marketing Director for O-Cedar Cleaning Products, generously offered the donation of more than 600 mops as a way to say \u201cthank you\u201d to the teachers and staff who continue to work tirelessly to keep schools sanitized and open for face-to-face instruction this school year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause cleaning is so important (especially this year) and because our schools are actually in session, I wanted to donate as many mops as needed to schools in the Diocese. These mops are a great quick cleaning option for classrooms,\u201d said Lohse. \u201cIt is truly my honor to be able to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe teachers were so touched and grateful for the donation,\u201d said Tricia Weis, principal at Saints Peter and Paul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the midst of challenging times, this mop donation was a bright spot in a difficult year,\u201d said Toni Miller, principal at St. Pius X Parish School in Lombard. \u201cThis gesture was so well received by the staff and means so much.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lohse\u2019s husband, Tim, and his company \u2013 PuroClean, graciously delivered the mops to 23 lucky schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur gifts of mops were great! Our teachers and cleaning staff were very thankful and love how we can actually clean and not just dust mop the tile parts of the floors,\u201d said Stacey Swanson, principal at Immaculate Conception School in Morris. \u201cGod bless the wonderful elves who delivered them to us!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaving these mops helps us expedite the sanitation and cleaning process here at school,\u201d said Colleen Brodhead, principal at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic School in Joliet. \u201cWe are very grateful for the donations for both here at school and for our staff members\u2019 homes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 54 Catholic schools in the Diocese of Joliet are open for face-to-face instruction this year with health and safety measures such as masks, social distancing, wellness checks and ongoing sanitizing in place. Seats are still available in select grades at most schools and enrollment remains open. Find a school near you at WeTeachMore.org.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
