P resented by the Volunteer Center of Sonoma County, the Volunteer Recognition Awards recognize outstanding Sonoma County Nonprofits and the committed individuals who serve them. A panel of judges convened by the Volunteer Center evaluates nominations and selects winners. events that address solutions to pinpointed community needs. The committee members are primarily Spanishspeaking parents, with preschool to teenage children at home. They are very involved in the rural Russian River communities and schools targeting the development and funding of activities and resources that assist young English language learners succeed and be healthy and safe. T he Diversity Award is presented to an exceptional individual or team of volunteers bringing services/programs to underserved populations—those who are vulnerable or disadvantaged by language, disability, cultural or economic hardship. A cash prize is awarded to the nominee(s)’ designated non-profit organization. T his year the volunteer Parents, Providers and Program Committee was nominated for, and was chosen to receive, the Diversity Award. T he Parents, Providers, and Program (PPP) Committee was formed in 2006 in an effort to involve West County parents and child care providers in program and resources development for the benefit of children living in west Sonoma County. There are about thirty active families in this group. The children are also participants, working alongside parents in their fundraising and advocacy efforts. T he members of this volunteer group meet monthly to share a meal while discussing issues that effect children in west Sonoma County. They meet with community leaders, developing parent advocacy and leadership skills. A group of 30 parents and children went to Sacramento in July for the “Un-Fair Rally” to advocate for keeping children’s programs in the State budget. They fundraise to support programs and Mission Statement: T he PPP Committee members have been active participants and fundraisers in the Human Race and food booths at River community events. Money raised has gone to provide swim lessons for children and their parents (mostly Latino) who live along the Russian River. Water safety for Latino families was an issue that the PPP parents targeted to address. Funds raised have also helped keep kinder gym going, provided books for the Young Readers program, and bought car safety seats. Through fundraising and volunteering in the office and learning to advocate for children’s program support, these volunteers have learned that they can make a difference for the good in their communities. CONGRATULATIONS!! Our mission is to nurture the healthy development of children and parents in our community. We offer resources, referrals and support to families and child care providers in western Sonoma County. What is TrustLine? TrustLine is California’s registry of in-home child care providers, tutors and in-home counselors who have passed a background screening. It was created by the California Legislature in 1987 and is a powerful resource for parents hiring a nanny or baby-sitter. All caregivers listed with TrustLine have been cleared through a fingerprint check of records at the California Department of Justice. This means they have no disqualifying criminal convictions or substantiated child abuse reports in California. TrustLine is administered by the California Department of Social Services and the non-profit Child Care Resource and Referral Network. ¿Qué es TrustLine? TrustLine es el registro de California para los proveedores de cuidado infantil en su hogar quienes han aprobado la investigación de antecedentes. Fue creada por la Ley de California en 1987 y es una poderosa fuente para padres quienes están contratando a una niñera o baby-sitter. Todas las cuidadoras de niños que están en TrustLine han sido aprobadas por medio de la investigación de registro de huellas digitales en el Departamento de Justicia de California. Esto significa que no tienen condenas criminales que las descalifican o informes de abuso infantil comprobados. TrustLine está administrada por el Departamento de Servicios Sociales de California y la Red de Recursos y Referencias de Cuidado Infantil que opera sin fines de lucro. Thank You Donors: • Members of the Active 20-30 of Sebastopol for sponsoring this year’s KidSpree for West County kids. You made “back to school” a great experience for lots of children. You are the Best! • Metropolitan Community Church for providing backpacks full of back-to-school supplies for children to make kids smile! • Guerneville 5 & 10 Stop the Spread of Germs in Schools, Fast Facts • Approximately 1/5 of the U.S. population attends or works in schools. (U.S. Dept of Ed, 1999). • Some viruses and bacteria can live from 20 minutes up to 2 hours or more on surfaces like cafeteria tables, doorknobs, and desks. (Ansari, 1988; Scott and Bloomfield, 1989) • Nearly 22 million school days are lost annually due to the common cold alone. (CDC, 1996) • Addressing the spread of germs in schools is essential to the health of our youth, our schools, and our nation. • Students need to get plenty of sleep and physical activity, drink water, and eat good food to help them stay healthy in the winter and all year. Seasonal Flu Information for Schools & Childcare Providers Educators and staff can help slow the spread of colds and flu. On this page, you will find more information on preventing the flu, as well as, materials and tools for schools. Each year an average of 20,000 children under the age of 5 are hospitalized because of flu-related complications. Influenza causes more hospitalizations among young children than any other vaccine-preventable disease. The single best way to protect against seasonal flu and its potential severe complications is for children to get a seasonal influenza vaccine each year. Flu vaccination is recommended for all children aged 6 months and older. Making healthy choices at school and at home can help prevent the flu and spreading flu to others. Ask children to: • Cover their nose and mouth with a tissue when they cough or sneeze—have them throw the tissue away after they use it. • Wash their hands often with soap and water, especially after they cough or sneeze. If water is not near, use an alcohol-based hand rub. • Avoid touching their eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs spread this way. How Germs Spread The main way that illnesses like colds and flu are spread is from person to person in respiratory droplets of coughs and sneezes. This is called “droplet spread.” This can happen when droplets from a cough or sneeze of an infected person move through the air and are deposited on the mouth or nose of people nearby. Sometimes germs also can be spread when a person touches respiratory droplets from another person on a surface like a desk and then touches his or her own eyes, mouth or nose before washing their hands. We know that some viruses and bacteria can live 2 hours or longer on surfaces like cafeteria tables, doorknobs, and desks. How to Stop the Spread of Germs In a nutshell: • Take care to cover your mouth and nose • Clean your hands often • Remind your children to practice healthy habits, too • Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing • Cough or sneeze into a tissue and then throw it away. Cover your cough or sneeze if you do not have a tissue. Then, clean your hands, and do so every time you cough or sneeze. The “Happy Birthday” song helps keep your hands clean? Not exactly. Yet we recommend that when you wash your hands -- with soap and warm water -- that you wash for 15 to 20 seconds. That’s about the same time it takes to sing the “Happy Birthday” song twice! Alcohol-Based Hand Wipes and Gel Sanitizers Work Too When soap and water are not available, alcohol-based disposable hand wipes or gel sanitizers may be used. You can find them in most supermarkets and drugstores. If using gel, rub your hands until the gel is dry. The gel doesn’t need water to work; the alcohol in it kills the germs on your hands.* * Source: FDA/CFSAN Food Safety A to Z Reference Guide, September 2001: Handwashing. Gripe Estacional Información para Proveedores de Cuidado de Niños y Escuelas de Educadores y el personal puede ayudar a frenar la propagación de los resfriados y la gripe. En esta página usted encontrará más información sobre cómo prevenir la gripe, así como, materiales y herramientas para las escuelas. Cada año un promedio de 20.000 niños menores de 5 años son hospitalizados debido a complicaciones relacionadas con la gripe. La gripe causa más hospitalizaciones entre los niños pequeños que cualquier otra enfermedad prevenible por vacunación. La mejor manera de proteger se contra la gripe estacional y sus complicaciones pontenciamente graves es que los niños obtengan una vacuna la gripe estacional cada año. La vacunación contra la gripe se recomienda para todos los niños de 6 meses y mayores. Hacer elecciones saludables en la escuela y en casa puede ayudar a prevenir la gripe y la propagación de la gripe a otras personas. Pida a los niños: • Cúbrise la nariz y la boca con un pañuelo desechable al toser o estornudar-y tire el pañuelo después de usarlo. • Lave sus manos frecuentemente con agua y jabón, especialmente después de toser o estornudar. Si no hay agua cerca, use un desinfectante para manos a base de alcohol. • Evite tocarse los ojos, la nariz o la boca. Los gérmenes se propagan de esta manera. ¿Cómo se propagan los gérmenes La principal forma de que las enfermedades como resfriados y gripes se propagan es de persona a persona en las gotitas respiratorias de la tos y los estornudos. Esto se llama “propagación por gotitas”. Esto puede suceder cuando las gotitas de la tos o el estornudo de una persona infectada se desplazan por el aire y se depositan en la boca o nariz de las personas cercanas. A veces, los gérmenes también pueden propagarse cuando una persona toca las gotitas respiratorias de otra persona en una superficie como un escritorio ya continuación se toca sus propios ojos, boca o nariz antes de lavarse las manos. Sabemos que algunos virus y bacterias pueden vivir 2 horas o más en superficies como mesas de cafeterías, manijas de puertas y escritorios. Cómo detener la propagación de germens en pocas palabras: • tener cuidado de Cúbrise la boca y la nariz • Lavarse frecuentemente las manos • Recuerde a sus hijos practicar hábitos de higiene • Cúbrase la boca y la nariz al toser o estornudar • Tosa o estornude en un pañuelo y luego tirarlo a la basura • Cúbrase al toser o estornudar si no tiene un pañuelo. Luego, lávese las manos, y hágalo cada vez que tosa o estornude. La concion de “Cumpleaños feliz” ayuda a mantener las manos limpias? No exactamente. Sin embargo, se recomienda que al lavarse las manos - con agua tibia y jabón - se lave las manos de 15 a 20 segundos. Eso es aproximadamente el mismo tiempo que se tarda en cantar el “Feliz Cumpleaños” dos veces! Toallitas para las manos a base de alcohol y el gel desinfectante tambien ayuda.. Cuando el jabón y el agua no están disponibles, toallitas húmedas con alcohol o gel desinfectante para las manos puede ser utilizado. Usted puede encontrarlos en la mayoría de supermercados y farmacias. Si usa gel, frótese las manos hasta que el gel se seque. El gel no necesita agua para trabajar, el alcohol mata los gérmenes en sus manos .* * Fuente: FDA / CFSAN Seguridad Alimentaria A a la Z Guía de referencia, septiembre de 2001: El lavado de manos. Detener la propagación de gérmenes en las escuelas, Resumen • Aproximadamente 1 / 5 de la población de EE.UU. asiste a o trabaja en escuelas. (Departamento de Estados Unidos de Ed, 1999). • Algunos virus y bacterias pueden vivir de20 minutos hasta 2 horas o más en superficies como mesas de cafeterías, manijas de puertas y escritorios. (Ansari, 1988; Scott y Bloomfield, 1989) • Casi 22 millones de días escolares se pierden cada año debido al resfriado común. (CDC, 1996) • Detener la propagación de gérmenes en las escuelas es esencial para la salud de nuestros jóvenes, nuestras escuelas, y nuestra nación. • Los estudiantes necesitan dormir mucho y practicar actividad física, beber agua y comer alimentos saludables que les ayuden a mantenerse sanos en el invierno y todo el año 2010 october 2010 5: Attendance sheets due to RCCS by 5 PM 4 and 5: Kindergym 11 and 12: Kindergym 12: Parent, Provider and Program (PPP) Committee meets at 6:00 PM at RCCS.

Cultivando la Salud/Cultivating Health Mobile Dental Clinic 707-547-4649 What Causes Tooth Decay? T ooth decay (cavities and/or rotted teeth) is caused by bacteria on the tooth. The condition is worsened when a child’s teeth are exposed to sugary liquids, formula, soda, sports drinks, fruit juices or milk for a period of time. Putting a baby to bed with a bottle, or giving her a juicefilled sippy cup is a major culprit. T ooth decay causes discomfort and makes it difficult for your child to chew food, sleep, pay attention in class and at home. Untreated tooth decay on baby teeth can cause serious damage to the permanent (adult) teeth. It’s important that you brush and floss your child’s teeth twice a day. Try These Instead: Fresh Fruit & Diluted Juice Sugar-Free Gum with Xylitol Water What Can PDI Help Me With? 1. Enroll A Case Manager will work with you to ensure your child is enrolled in an insurance program if available. 2. Coordination A Case Manager schedules your child’s surgery appointment, and discusses important pre-op instructions. 3.
