• Welcome back to another edition of TETV Morning News. Today is Friday, November 10.

• We're from the TE change leaders, According to the American Diabetes Association, about 244,000 children under the age of 20 are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is a condition where the pancreas doesn’t make inulin, in turn causing blood sugar to build up in the bloodstream. Please wear blue or gray in honor of World Diabetes Day on Tuesday, November 14th because we will be providing blue ribbons for a donation of 1 dollar and blue bracelets for a donation of 5 dollars from the week of November 13th through the 17th. You can get these during your lunch wave. This money will go to children with type 1 diabetes in the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center.

•  Tomorrow,  November 11, marks Veterans Day. Veterans Day occurs every year in the United States in honor of the “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918 that signaled the end of World War I, known as Armistice Day. In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower officially changed the name of the holiday from Armistice Day to Veterans Day. Do you know any Veterans in your family, neighborhood or community? Please take the opportunity to thank a Veteran in your life or in our community today! 

• On Monday, November 13th TEMS will recognize World Kindness Day. During arrivals on Friday and Monday please stop by the lobby to complete kindness shout outs where you can recognize a friend or teacher for kindness that they showed. Like every day, let’s continue to represent TEMS values by showing kindness, compassion, and acceptance of everyone.
