This visit was special because we tried something new. Each week we try to take Lucy for a walk down the hallway of the school. 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

Some were delighted to pick a candy cane from the basket. Some other said "no thank you". We did our visits and noticed … Continue reading Clough Center
