Dear  Parent/Guardian,

         Well  folks,  it   seems  that  everyone  has   weathered   the   Halloween   Season  in   good  fashion.    We  were  par?cularly  pleased   to   have   the   large   family  turnout  for  our  Trunk  or  Treat  evening.    This   will   become   an   annual   ac?vity.      Teachers   and   students   are   now  preparing   for   the   Thanksgiving  weekend  later  this  month.          Social   Emo?onal   Learning  (SEL)   is  not   a   new   concept   to   educators   or  parents,  however  we  are  placing  great  emphasis   on   SEL   ac?vi?es   at   school.    Essen?ally,   SEL   aGempts   to   teach   to  the  whole  child.    At  E.B.,  we  are  known  for   very   a   strong   academic   program,  however   this   needs   to   be   expanded  and  balanced   to  meet   the  needs  of  the  whole   child.     The  emo?onal   needs   of  learning   responsibility,   empathy,  staying   with   a   task   even   if   it   seems  

difficult,  etc.    We   have   started   to   use  an   SEL   program   known   as   Second  Steps   in   all   grade   levels.    Please   take  some   ?me   at   home   to   ask  your   child  about  the  Second  Steps  lessons.           Our   school   staff  wishes   to   share  with   parents   the   value   of   social  emo?onal   learning-­‐   how   it   can   help  your   child  at   school  and   at  home,  and  what   parents   can   do   at   home   to  support   school   level   SEL   ac?vi?es.      With   this   in   mind,   we   will   convene   a  Social  Emo?onal   Learning  Parent  Night  on   Thursday,   11/30/17   from   5:00   –  6:00  in  our   school   cafeteria.    We  invite  all   interested  parents  and  guardians  to  aGend.                Our   cafeteria   will   prepare  a   chili  dinner   for   each   aGendee   so   that   our  Moms  do  not  need   to  cook  when  they  go   home.     Also,   each   student   who  brings  his/her   parents  to   the  11/30/17  session   will   be   awarded   two   Golden  

Bee  Tickets  which  they  can  redeem  for  incen?ve   prizes   later   this   semester.      We  will   have   child   care   available  here  on   campus   during   the   5:00   –   6:00  session   so   that   parents   can   focus   on  the  SEL  presenta?on.    We  hope  to  see  a  large  turnout   for   this  very  important  learning  session.          Please   contact  our   school  staff  or  myself  whenever  we  can   be  of   service  to  your  family.    Our  school  phone  no.  is  (808)  974-­‐4855.    You  may  also   contact  me   at   my   residence   no.   (808)  9 3 5 -­‐ 2 6 1 0 ,   o r   v i a   e m a i l   a t  < D e n n i s _ O ’ B r i e n / D e S I L V A /HIDOE@notes.k12.hi.us>        Warmest  Regards,

Ahhh....fall is in the air! The month of pumpkin pie, family gatherings, pumpkin pie, turkey, and pumpkin pie! (My favorite!)

It is also time for us to give thanks for the many blessings that we have in our lives. Family, friends, and our school community all enrich our lives, offer challenges for personal growth and grow wonderful relationships.

Here at EB deSilva, we have so much that has been bestowed on us: from staff and faculty that work extra hard to ensure the success of our students, to the many parents and volunteers that bring an extra layer of value and caring to our school community.

We have had a busy October, with more to come before the winter break. Have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

“Veterans Day: Nov. 11”“Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation in 1954 to change the name to Veterans Day as a way to honor those who served in all American wars. The day honors military veterans with parades and speeches across the nation. A national ceremony takes place at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.” Source: www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/facts_for_features_special_editions/cb12-ff21.html

OCTOBERIt’s the !rst of!cial month of fall. You and your students have settled into a

routine, and you’ve started introducing so many important facts and concepts.

No doubt your school calendar is !lling fast with events and holidays.

Here’s an October observance you may not have heard of: World Stroke

Day on October 29. Its purpose is to raise awareness of the prevention and

treatment of stroke. Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States has

a stroke. Every four minutes, someone dies of stroke. Read on to learn the

critical warning signs of stroke.

Make One Change for the BetterHere’s a change that’s a real yawner: Get quality

sleep. Really! Lack of sleep is linked to an

increased risk of heart disease, kidney disease,

high blood pressure, diabetes, and stroke. Shoot

for a good 7-8 hours of sleep each night.

Did You Know? Stroke is largely treatable.

Responding quickly when a stroke occurs can mean the difference between recovery and disability.

Recognize the signs.
