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 County, public will discuss 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. For more information, call her toll-free at 877-604-4367.
