HALLOWEEN SAFETY TIPS 1. Children should not be alone at night without adult supervision
2. When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips and falls
3. Have kids carry glow sticks or flashlights to help them see and be seen by drivers
4. Always walk on sidewalks or paths
5. Decorate costumes and bags with reflective tape or stickers and, if possible, choose light colors
Donations
Blessings in a Backpack is a program that allows us to send food items home
on Fridays with students who may need extra food over the week-ends. The things that we send home are food items that the children can prepare themselves. We asked you for donations to help with this during Red Ribbon Week. As usual, you all helped by donating many non-perishable foods that will help keep a child from being hungry. Thank you for helping us help our children!
Bullying is when someone repeatedly and on purpose says or does hurtful things to another person who has a hard time defending him or herself.
Bullying can take many forms, such as hitting, verbal harassment, spreading false rumors, not letting someone be part of the group and sending hurtful messages on a cell phone or over the Internet.
Fall Festival
A big “Thank you” to all of you who came out and brought your families to our annual Fall Festival.
My appreciation also goes out to our PTO volunteers, CES faculty and staff members, local companies that donated items and Sarah Justus for her dedication to this fundraising event. It was a wonderful evening of fun for everyone!
Healthy Snacks

Thanksgiving Holidays are Nov. 23-25
REMINDER
When helping your child choose a snack for school, please think healthy. The following is just a small list of ideas: a piece of fruit, whole wheat crackers, a whole grain bar, trail mix, carrots and celery sticks, pretzels, a cheese stick, a small bag of popped popcorn or dried fruit. Please remember that candy or anything loaded with sugar is not an appropriate school snack.

A NOTE FROM OUR SCHOOL COUNSELOR
ATTENDANCE: A Key to Your Child’s Success
Research shows that attendance is the single most important factor in school success.
Being late for school also hurts a child’s learning, too. They miss valuable instruction just
from being tardy or signing out early.
Your child’s success in school depends on having a solid educational background, one that
can only be gained through regular attendance.
Here are some ways you can improve your child’s school attendance:
Talk with your child about the importance of attending school regularly.
Avoid scheduling family trips or doctor appointments during school hours.
Make sure your child stays healthy by eating nutritious food and getting enough sleep
and exercise.
Don’t accept excuses for why your child “must” miss or be late for school.
Discuss with your child what happened at school each day.
Support school rules and consequences for excessive absences and tardiness.
Show your child why education is important. Give specific examples of how education
helps people succeed.
Lead by example. If your child sees you taking off work for no real reason, they may
expect to be able to do the same.
Schools are responsible for teaching your child, but schools cannot do their job if your
child is absent. Learning builds day by day. A child who misses a day of school misses a
day of learning.
As always, feel free to contact me at anytime if you have a concern or question regarding
your child. I will be more than happy to assist you.
I can be reached at 279-6307 or at my email address abella@spartanburg3.org.
Respectfully,
Angela Bellamy
