We are happy to have Mr. Apgar back to work with students from the Gustke Shelter who are not able to be in public school settings today. He has been on a vacation to the Carribean (I think). Two students today are hard at work on specially prepared educational materials to suit their particular needs. Even with a recent turnover of residents at the shelter, most students are in public school settings, but for those with unique needs, Mr. Apgar (and his sub- Mr. Spencer) do a great job of tailoring the academic work to the students individual circumstances.
We will be working with Wood County schools to re-apply for the state Department of Education grant to continue this vital work, which we have been supported with grants for about 8 years.
Children's Home Society is a great place to work. I worked there for several years and sure do miss making a difference in the childrens lifes.
