    A NOTE FROM NURSE WENTZEL


    Dear Parents, This has been a particularly difficult year for head lice and many schools in the area have been addressing this issue since the first day of school with multiple cases. We have recently found a few cases at Williams and ask that you continue to be diligent about screening your child. Sharing hats, hair brushes, bike helmets, riding helmets and car seats is never a good idea. Unfortunately, head lice are not a new issue and the advent of increased resistance has made it a constant problem in schools, camps and afterschool programs. I am happy to address any questions you might have. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a very comprehensive link for the treatment and recognition of head lice. http://www.cdc.gov/parasites/lice/head/ Thank you!

    Sponsoring a Child in the Cafeteria Program at Saint Gabriel School, in Lascahobas, Haiti In 2011, The Williams School declared St. Gabriel School to be their sister school. A unique relationship has developed based on reaching out to children in Haiti by gathering facts about their geography, history, culture, daily lives, and school. Father Bernard Desras, pastor at St. Gabriel, visits the students at TWS every other year and Mrs. Britz, elementary French teacher at TWS, visits the children at St. Gabriel twice a year with a small group of volunteers. TWS started its support of St. Gabriel School by sending hand-made greeting cards and bookmarks. It continued by sending funds to purchase goats and blackboards on the local market. The year of the earthquake, the students at TWS gave the funds collected at the Annual Talent Show to the children at St. Gabriel to help with their lunches. Resources are developed to teach the children about the history of Haiti, and some of the challenges they face there such as lack of infrastructure, malnutrition and deforestation. The regular visits to Lascahobas assist with deepening relationships and learning about the Haitian culture. During these visits, the group has ample time to exchange what their pressing needs are. Our Williams family would like to know about the children in Haiti, and St. Gabriel has identified three urgent needs as food, education, and health care. Fifty percent of primary school age children are not enrolled in school and food remains a luxury in Haiti. The school consists of 1st and 2nd grade and 7th through 12th grade with a total of 350 students. A plate of hot beans and rice with fresh vegetables is served each school day to the students. Recently Fr. Bernard benefited from two matching grants to develop sustainable vegetable farms to help improve nutrition. He says that the children concentrate more on their studies and have better grades when fed a good balanced meal at school. This might be the only meal the students have since parents often are not able to feed their children. It costs $1.60 per day to feed a child, $35 a month for 22 meals, and $420 a year. One hundred percent of each donation goes directly to the program thanks to generous volunteers. The relationship between St. Gabriel and The Williams School offers our students opportunities to expand their cultural awareness and appreciate the global nature of relationships and problem-solving. A sense of philanthropy is developed through caring about and serving another school community as well as through monetary donations. If you feel you wish to help support the community of St. Gabriel, please write your check to Sacred Heart Church and add St. Gabriel Lunch Fund on the memo line. We are looking for a sustained sponsorship which helps the children through the entire school year whenever possible. Thanks go to TWS and members of the larger community who already participate in this program.
