Hawthorne 2 Bilingual Alternative

Parent volunteers have created a tips and tricks document.

Thanks to Lisa Philipps and Philippa Dowding, Hawthorne Parent Volunteers, this document can help us deal w/ lice.

Excerpt

Many of us have experienced the frustration, disruption and general upset of head lice. We have taken time away from jobs and other activities to deal with the problem. We have wasted money on pesticide shampoos and plastic combs that are ineffective and may be harmful to health. Some of us have been fortunate to get helpful tips and support from other parents, while others have struggled along on their own.

The purpose of this lice fact sheet is to ensure all parents have access to knowledge gained through hard experience by families who have dealt with repeated outbreaks of lice. By sharing information and encouraging discussion, we may be able to save each other some distress and reduce the number of recurring episodes at our school.

Thank you Lisa and Philippa.
