"Oh boy where to start. First, I want to say Mrs Bullard is an amazing teacher!! Amy has been wonderful with Gus and her support of the Roxy program. As time has gone by and Gus has gotten older, Mrs. Bullard noticed the years taking a toll on Gus. He was having a hard time on the slippery floors walking to class as he is now 11 years old.  So to help Gus and also so that we could get to class quicker, I would carry him down to class. He LOVES going to school so much! It is a true highlight of his day!! By the time I would get to class, I was out of breath from carrying my baby who wanted more than anything to be in class with the children!!!!

So, the students went and did chores at home to raise money to buy Gus a stroller so it would be easier for him to get to their class!! This class is a very special one for Gus and I, and we will cherish their kindness forever!!!!"
