| KIAWAH-SEABROOK EXCHANGE CLUB HONORS | |
Each month from October to February, the Kiawah-Seabrook Exchange Club honors two students at their bi-monthly meeting where the students give a speech to the members. One senior is elected from Charleston Collegiate and one is elected from St. John's High School. The faculty selects the students based on their academic achievements and overall positive contributions to the school community, and we are proud to announce the winners from October, November, and December: Stuart Bowers, Sydney Bertsch, and Tyler Swain. This special award automatically makes the students eligible for the Exchange Club's "Youth of the Year," which awards a scholarship at the local and the national levels.

| LOCKS OF LOVE | |
Locks of Love - Join us in giving! We've set a date! Ms. Murphy and Mrs. Williams will donate their hair to Locks of Love on Thursday, December 9th! If you plan to participate in donating, make your hair appointment now. We will take "before and after" pictures on Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th! Over a million children in the U.S. suffer from medical conditions that cause hair loss. You are invited to help! Mrs. Williams and Ms. Murphy plan to grow their hair to donate this winter and would love for CCS teachers, students, and parents to join in giving a gift to Locks of Love!
Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada suffering from long-term medical hair loss. Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. Your gift can help restore self-esteem and confidence for these special children.
Please see the Locks of Love website, www.locksoflove.org, for more information on this charity's mission, how to give, and requirements for hair donation. Questions? Email kwilliams@charlestoncollegiate.org.
