School!

The original post occurred on March 26, 2011, and contained a video clip.

Well, Gertrude and I talked about the the school that we want to build. We have two options for land: one lot right next door which is nice and big and another lot across an alley which is smaller. Both could work; we just need to find out who owns them and then negotitate a price. So, Gertrude's job is to figure out ownership, and my job is to start fundraising! We have our jobs cut out for us, but I feel certain that it is the right thing to do. I spent today with the special needs kids, and they could do so much more! There just isn't enough staff, enough space, enough knowledge to move them along. A school that focuses on their needs is definitely needed, and that school must be staffed with trained OTs and PTs. I have a lot of learning to, but I have some ideas on where to go to start learning--my awesome colleagues at RMS!
