Community efforts to help both families are continuing, as organizers of last week's blood drive in the campus gymnasium have scheduled another one for Saturday.

Meanwhile, the William S. Hart Union School District will send a teacher to LeMar's house to help him catch up the schoolwork he has missed since the Nov. 25 explosion during a physics experiment. The 17-year-old, hospitalized for treatment of burns to 12 percent of his body, was released Sunday from the Grossman Burn Center at Sherman Oaks Hospital.

``Nolan will be home-schooled until after winter recess,'' said Hart High Principal Gary Fuller. The boy's parents ``felt it would be a better transition (for him), to feel better and on the road to full recovery before he comes back.''

 said James' condition remained unchanged Monday.

Meanwhile, a friend of the James family has organized a schedule of home-cooked dinners to be delivered to the hospital. The teen's parents and siblings have been spending the bulk of each day at the burn center, said Cindy Klinger, whose son is a friend of James' older sister, Nancy.

``People feel really bad when this kind of thing happens. You feel so helpless and you want to do something to ease (the family's) burden,'' Klinger said. ``This is a concrete way to show your support.''

Concerned friends had sent Thanksgiving dinner to the hospital the day after the accident, and the support continued from there, she said.

``Some nights they were getting two meals, and (another) night they weren't getting any,'' Klinger added, saying she decided to coordinate the donations so that ``efforts won't be duplicated.''

Those who cook the dinners are asked to prepare enough food for 10 to 12 people, to put it in a disposable container that the family doesn't have to return, and to deliver it to the hospital, Klinger said.

``Some people are not good at cooking - it's not their thing - but they still want to help out,'' she said. ``So I've suggested that they provide gift certificates for restaurants in the (hospital) area.''

For information on the food drive, call Klinger at (805) 255-2245.
