This fall I decided that Lucy and I would do our visits at the Clough Center differently. Instead of trying to see every resident, that we would try to spend more time with different residents that might need more time to talk and have a visitor on that day.

I put two leashes on Lucy, one for the student to hold and one I hold onto, so to be sure that Lucy doesn't pull the student. This time I … Continue reading Kearsarge High School The Gateway Program
