Eric Cross - School Counselor, Lockwood Elementary
About Me:
I am exited to be a part of the Eaton Rapids team, and absolutely LOVE working with the students at Lockwood. It has been an amazing five years here at Lockwood, and we have added a member to the Lockwood family in the style of School Therapy Dog. Smitty is our School Therapy Dog at Lockwood. He has been a wonderful edition to this family and loves coming and loving on the kids, and helping them regulate.
Smitty comes from the K9s for Warriors program based out of Florida. He started life as a rescue, began training to be a Service Dog, and was instead placed in their Station Dog Program. He has been with Lockwood for over a year now and has been a big part of making students feel loved, safe, and emotionally regulated.
The rest of my family is made up of two boys and a wife. We have been in Eaton Rapids for over almost 10 years and wouldn't trade it for anywhere else. We are excited to see what the future brings us. GO GREYHOUNDS!!!
