We need volunteers for Table Manner's Day. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Mrs. Moore at 843-365-3777.
Transportation Reminders
Also, if your student is a bus rider, please be at the bus stop on time for pick up. Tagged students (CD, K, 1st) will be brought back to the school. Students brought back will be sent to Kid Power at a drop-in rate of $12 per student. When students are brought back, this delays the bus route not only for any remaining KES bus riders, but also for the middle and high school riders of later routes.

November is National American Diabetes Month
National Diabetes Awareness Month in November is a special time to raise awareness of the difference between Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes occurs at every age, in people of every race, and of every shape and size. In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin. The body breaks down the carbohydrates you eat into blood sugar that it uses for energy—and insulin is a hormone that the body needs to get glucose from the bloodstream into the cells of the body. With the help of insulin therapy and other treatments, everyone can learn to manage their condition and live long healthy lives. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. It means that your body doesn’t use insulin properly. While some people can control their blood sugar levels with healthy eating and exercise, others may need medication or insulin to help manage it.

November Life skill for the month- “GENEROSITY”
Generosity is a world-changing principle, and it’s one that can be taught from a young age. It is an inherent motivator of the greatest power, which will emerge if given a chance. It teaches children that one act of kindness can make a difference. Please help us teach your child what generosity looks like. See tips below.
Activities to Do At Home:
· Review definition and discuss what it “looks like”
· Write about a time you felt good about giving
· Compliment Can – pull a name & share compliments
· Discuss / interview with parents or family about generosity
· Catch ‘Em In the Act – award with verbal praise or “Caught Being Good” Cards
Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help your child this year!
