ISOLATION ACTIVITIES, BALGO STYLE One of the quietest students in my classroom!!!  Rusty has been coming over to school with me.  It's a cool place for him to sit and good company for me. Rusty even comes to the Staff Work Room where the photocopier is.  He is happy anywhere providing there is an air conditioner.

Jeff has found a new volunteer job of cooking the Saturday night sausage sizzle at the pool.  The dogs know that he is a soft touch.  Needless to say, they go home with happy tummies!!! OUT AND ABOUT IN THE COMMUNITY The walk to the airstrip was a bit much for this little cutie. Dion enjoyed showing Jeff...
