KRUPIN’S CORNER
Summer plans are underway and our students will
soon begin to wrap up all the things they have
learned this year, all their successes, and all
lessons learned. Through this yearʼs journey, our
students have grown in all academic areas and
socially using the 7 habits as stones to paving the
path of success. They now are able to refer to the
7 habits by name and apply the characteristics
necessary to the habit in their lives. Before we
depart and move on to our summer adventures, I
would like to introduce the 8th Habit, Find Your
Voice and Inspire Others to Find Theirs. During
your summer adventures help your children find
their inner voice. Once they do, they will lead
others to do the same. YEARBOOKS

PTA GARDENING COMMITTEE
THANKS TO ALL FOR HELPING US MEET OUR
GOAL! THE FUNDRAISING WAS A GREAT
SUCCESS!
We can purchase plants to complete the front of the
school and maintain work next school year. We will start
getting the plants in a few weeks, closer to the rainy
season, to make sure they get enough water. We
will confirm the planting dates since we will need a lot of
help digging on those days.
Thanks again!
Congratulations to Alessio Mazzi. He has moved to the
National level for PTA Reflections National Judging.
Alessio is representing Florida in the Primary Music
Category but, most importantly he is representing Eagle
Point Elementary!
PTA
Moms and Dads all together, any time, every time,
always ready to lend a hand! THANK YOU FROM
THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS for your time and
dedication! We really could not have done all the things
we do without you! With much appreciation…

HEALTH CORNER
Did you know that Diabetes is the single most costly chronic
disease? Nearly 24 million Americans have Diabetes and
currently there is no cure, but significant progress is being made.
That's why Eagle Point Elementary is getting involve to help
find a cure. Starting on Monday May 4th - Monday May 11th
the Diabetic Fundraiser Event will take place. Packets will be
sent home from the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research
Foundation) on May 4th to help raise funds for Type 1 Diabetes.
The students will have the opportunity to win prizes as they get
donations. Let us work together to make a cure a reality. We
have (4) Diabetic students on campus that want to say thank you
for your help.
WHAT IS DIABETES?
Diabetes is a chronic, metabolic disorder that is resistance to the
action of insulin, insufficient insulin secretion, or both. In a
body without diabetes, your pancreas produces insulin, a hormone
the body uses to change glucose (sugar) in the blood into energy
that allows muscles and organs to function.
TYPES OF DIABETES
There are two type of Diabetes, Type I & II. Type I Diabetes is
also known as Juvenile Diabetes, it usually happens in
childhood, adolescence, or young adulthood and lasts a lifetime. It
is an autoimmune disease in which the juvenile's pancreas stops
producing insulin that enables them to get energy from food.
Juvenile's with Type I Diabetes must take several doses of
insulin daily through a pump or by injection sometimes up to
4x's day. Type II Diabetes the body has insulin but is not
working to break down the sugars due to other conditions such as
overweight or obesity, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and
increased cholesterol, hereditary to name a few.
WARNING SIGNS FOR DIABETES I INCLUDE:
Extreme thirst, frequent urination, drowsiness or lethargy,
increased appetite, sudden weight loss, sudden vision change,
sugar in the urine, fruity odor on the breath, heavy or labored
breathing, stupor or unconsciousness
WARNING SIGNS FOR DIABETES II INCLUDE:
Polyuria, Polyphagia, Polydypsia, weight loss, blurred vision,
fatigue, itching of the skin, wounds that are slow to heal
WHAT CAN BE DONE.
Although diabetes cannot yet be cured, it can be affectively
managed by monitoring blood sugar and balancing insulin
injections or oral medications with individual meal planning and
exercise. For the children with Juvenile Diabetes I, it is
important that communication/cooperation between the parent,
children and school personnel or childcare providers help each
child have a positive and productive experience. Developing and
maintaining a plan of action with a doctor is vitally important.
While a student is in school, it is important that personnel be
educated to signs of Hyper/Hypoglycemia. Hyperglycemia is
to much sugar in the blood showing: frequent urination, hunger,
extreme thirst, drowsiness. Hypoglycemia is low blood sugar
in the blood showing: shaking, sweating, dizziness, headache,
fast heartbeat, hunger, weakness/fatigue.
