I do have a suggestion though ~ I kinow of one janitor who is having the time of her life, in school! Why don't you connect with Nathan Parker in New Zealand ~ he is doing some amazing things with his school, and he's got the janitor involved with WikiEducator and Linux! Nathan is also getting a cluster of open source for education going....
