WWS Red-Tailed Hawks Advance to MSB PVAC Semifinals! | |
|
From Micah Bump
Even before they stepped onto the shimmering hardwood known as the Jewish Day School’s “Lion’s Den”, the WWS middle school boys (MSB) team knew they faced an uphill battle. None of the players could remember when they last won in this arena. Even the grizzled parent veterans of PVAC athletics were scratching their heads and drawing blanks as to the last time they had witnessed an MS playoff basketball win. But those thoughts quickly dissipated as the MSB played their most complete game of the year, defeating a tough JDS squad by one point in a game that went down to the wire. Having avenged their loss to JDS earlier in the season, the MSB now advance to the PVAC semi-finals and face the perennial PVAC powerhouse St. Anselm’s Abbey. Only time will tell if the newly minted Red-Tailed Hawks playoff run doubles from one to two. Go Hawks!

Seeking Elder Care Position
from Natalie Adams (Former WWS Faculty & Alum Parent)
Photchana (Thum) Keadrit seeks a full time elder care position. It can be live-in or live-out. She has worked for the past six plus years for a family taking care of a couple in their 90s. The husband passed away this past year and the wife has entered hospice care, and Thum's services are not longer needed. She most recently came to Massachusetts to help my 96 year old mother-in-law who needed support recovering at home from being in the hospital. She provided the best care my mother-in-law has ever had.
Thum has two related licenses: Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and Certified Medical Technician (CMT). In addition to being an exceedingly patient, thorough, and loving caretaker, Thum is an excellent cook, responsible driver, and first rate organizer; she can help with whatever one needs around the house. She also has more than two decades experience as a nanny for children from birth through the teen years. She helped care for my two children (WWS Class of '05 and Class of '08) when they were young.
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or call Thum directly on her cell phone 301-792-1523. Natalie Adams 301-221-6224.
