New York Post, Daily Mail and Breitbart News report that the Aubrey Independent School District board in Texas has named its fifth elementary school after Marilyn Hampton, a custodian who worked for the district for 39 years. The outlets say the announcement came at a board meeting, where Hampton was asked to roll out a red carpet and saw the new name on it. She broke down in tears, the reports say. Superintendent Shannon Saylor is quoted calling Hampton a role model and mentor for students and staff. The school is due to open next year, according to the New York Post and Daily Mail.
