Weekly Blog 2/7/11

Dear Wines Families,

I’m posting today's blog a day early because there is some time dependent information for this week. I want to first thank our community for again coming through for our school and our community. Last weekend we participated in the Ann Arbor PTO Thrift Shop “Show Your Support” effort. I’m pleased to announce that Wines had the highest participation of any school. We earned 714 tokens, which accounted for 32% of all tokens and we raised $320 dollars that will go directly to support our Lunches with Love program at Wines. Thank you to everyone who visited the PTO Thrift Shop! Thanks to Holly Derry for organizing our effort.

Attached to today's email is a flyer announcing our annual Disability Awareness Day for 4th graders. The date of this wonderful event is March 8th from 9:00 AM until noon. If you are interested in volunteering on this day (no experience necessary and you don’t need to have a 4th grader at Wines), please click on the volunteer sign up link below.

We have had a tremendous amount of RSVP’s for Parent Involvement Day coming up on Monday, February 13th. If you are planning on coming to school to visit on Monday, please click on the RSVP link so we can have a good idea of how many folks to expect. Most importantly, if you are staying for lunch that day, please RSVP so we can be sure to have enough food for everyone (lunch is provided for adults only).

Tomorrow evening, (Wednesday February 8th) there is a PTO meeting in the Media Center. The meeting begins at 7:00 and will last one hour. This is an informational meeting, so if you’ve not been to a PTO meeting before, this would be a great opportunity! I attached the agenda to today's email. As always, childcare will be available.

Attached to today's email is a flyer outlining our Student Council’s efforts to provide gift cards to veterans at our local VA Hospital. Please check out the flyer to learn about this great community service opportunity.
