💡SPOTLIGHT ON #MCSDPotential🌟💡 Mr. Beau Cromer, Extended Day Manager at Bessey Creek Elementary School, helps students achieve their #MCSDPotential by serving as a counselor and leader. "I have personally known him since 2001, and he has now had all three of my children in Extended Day," parent Adam Hamill shares. "He counsels and leads. He is innovative and fun. He is fair, honest, as flexible as he can be and stern when he needs to be. All three of my children have in part become who they are due to his positive influence. I feel fortunate to have had him as an extended part of my parenting through his interaction in the Extended Day program." Thank you for going #ALLINMartin👊 for our students, Mr. Cromer!
