Initially, you may think that this blog deals exclusively with Casey's impact on those that she serves. However, there is more than that involved and this is not the irrational ravings of a dog owner about "his" dog. Perhaps if I relate some conclusions that I have drawn based on Casey's most recent experiences, you'll understand where I'm "coming from."
Casey and I are working a reduced schedule now. Whereas, we're still at Saratoga Bridges on a weekly basis, we are working in 2 Saratoga Springs schools and at ACT, every other week. It is at these three locations where Casey's impact is evident.
As you know from an earlier post, it has been necessary to make use of volunteers to satisfy our transportation needs, as I no longer drive. I contacted a philanthropic organization, Carelinks, to see if they could provide voluntary transportation. Carelinks assigned Kevin to transport us. On the first occasion, Kevin asked if he could "come inside" with us at ACT. Since then, he has become a valued co-worker. My good friend, Sally, knew of the work we were doing and asked if she could work with us. Sally now works with us at Lake Avenue Elementary School Kirsten heard of the work we were doing and asked if she could work with us. On alternating Fridays, Kirsten works with us at Maple Avenue Middle School .
