-00.£E00a'noN S00Rvlc00s
Host thmilies are needed for
students from foreign lands
who want to attend school in
Mason County as part of the
Pacific Intercultural Exchange,
or PIE.
This year, students from Bra-
zil, Israel, Germany, Russia,
Venezuela, Thailand and many
other countries have been stay-
ing with a number of families
in this area since August 2006
and attending local schools.
Six different nationalities were
represented at Shelton High
School alone. These students
will soon be returning home, to
be replaced by a record number
of new students from as many
as 25 different countries.
Cathrene Nichols is the moth-
er of five and the local coordina-
tor of the PIE program. She and
her husband Samuel, an offi-
cer with the Washington State
Patrol, have been hosting for
seven years. They have shared
their home with students from
11 different countries and this
year hosted two students, one
from Israel and another from
the republic of Georgia. Mrs.
Nichols said their guest stu-
dents "have been very active in
their community and have been
well supported at Shelton High
School."
Exchange students who have
come to Mason County have at-
tended local schools and have
participated in athletics, choir

Simmons Road
Mason County has scheduled a
public meeting to discuss the Sim-
mons Road project. This is also
and theater. "They have also
attended local churches, librar-
ies and community centers with
their host families, not to men-
tion many of the local business
owners who have been privi-
leged to interact with them reg-
ularly throughout their stay,"
Mrs. Nichols said. "They have
raised the bar at local schools,
excelling academically and
bringing a fresh face to cultural
understanding in our commu-
nities."
This bringing together of stu-
dents and host families is made
possible by the support and care
of local volunteers working for
PIE and other organizations.
Volunteers serve as mentors to
the students and support to the
families throughout the school
year. Volunteer opportunities
range from placing and mentor-
ing foreign students to facilitat-
ing educational enhancement
trips and organizing orienta-
tions for the students as they
meet other students and their
host families.
Students arriving this fall
need loving host families to
come forward and take a leap of
faith. "We can touch lives, pro-
mote peace and cultural under-
standing and help someone in
need, one exchange at a time,"
Nichols said.
