The natural light helps stimulate the body’s defenses, inclu- ding producing vitamins A and D, which in the initiative to raise funds for UWCPR.“They are so much fun to work with,”said Densmore about the teachers and staff “and (they) are incredibly passionate about their kids and teaching them to invest in the community they live in. It’s critical that we instil these lessons in the next generation. The board and I feel that the strength of a community lies in the quality of its leaders. The teachers in our community have blown us away with their commitment and generosity.” The UWCPR raised funds for a variety of social programs throughout Prescott-Russell including improving access to early childhood learning, brea- king the poverty cycle by meeting basic human needs, and improving access to social and health related services.

But actual daylight is best, and Dr. Roumeliotis noted getting outside and being active is even bet- ter, if possible. Proper nutrition and rest make up the rest of the cure. “Good diet, good sleep habits, get exer- cise.” So doctor’s orders are to get out and play. “Take the time for a walk, go skiing, wha- tever,” Dr. Roumeliotis said. “The good news is the days are getting longer.The ‘light’ is at the end of the tunnel. .

“These teachers and principals are setting a huge example for their students,”said Jodie Dens- more of UnitedWay/Centraide of Prescott-Russell (UWCPR). “They are teaching them to give back to their community and become part of the com- munity.

School boards from the French Public, French Catholic, and Upper Canada District were involved
Vankleek Hill Collegial Institute Principal Angela Grandy, along with Vice Principal Donna MacGillis, took the challenge and dressed up like super heroes when the students reached their fundraising goals for United Way/Centraide of Prescott-Russell.
