Superhero Window Washers at MU Children's Hospital

Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Superman! And with help from Batman, Spider-Man and Captain America, he’s washing the windows at University of Missouri Children’s Hospital. For the third year, the window washers of Springfield-based Class Glass have shown up in costume ready to get the windows squeaky clean and streak free — much to the delight of the children staying in the hospital. “The doctors here are the real heroes, but it’s nice to put on a symbolic cape,” said Class Glass Owner Justin Hess. Child Life Specialist Amber Lashley said the superheroes’ visit is one of the most-anticipated events of the year. “It’s everybody’s favorite day. Everyone just loves it. The kids are super excited to see them,” Lashley said. “Our staff get super excited, too,” added Child Life Program Coordinator Merideth Lehman. After arriving at the hospital and suiting up, the superheroes started the day by going room to room to meet the young patients. Their first visit was to Draven Vernon, 11, of Lebanon, who greeted the superheroes wearing a Transformers T-shirt. “I should have worn my Superman shirt,” Draven said as he glanced at the caped crusaders before him. “Superman’s your favorite? That’s OK. I don’t take offense,” joked Spider-Man. Draven’s mom, Lori Vernon-Torres, said her son was so excited about the superheroes that he had woken up early to ensure he didn’t miss them. Andrea McFarland, of Jefferson City, whose 10-year-old daughter Carli had been in the hospital for nine days, said the visit was a welcome distraction. “These men that have come in to wash the windows have made her smile. I mean, she’s grinning from ear to ear,” McFarland Said. “As a mom, you have to explain the owies, but then you get to have something that’s just so joyful, that makes those owies so worth being here.”
