Kempsville Middle School Custodian Robert Brown fills his day tending to the needs of the building and keeping the school clean as well as ready for staff and students. However, he also makes sure to find the time to seek out students who may need a word of encouragement or follow up with those who have homework to complete or more studying to do. A football and basketball coach, he has helped to mentor hundreds of student-athletes, including some who have gone on to win national championships and play professional ball. Whether on the field or in the halls, at the heart of his work, he wants to let kids know he is there to help.
