Weekly Blog 5/23


Dear Wines Families,
With the many end of the year activities fast approaching, there is a lot of information to share today. I hope you find a few minutes to read through this week’s post.

Community Survey
As we come to the end of this school year, we’d like to know from our community how we are doing. Below is a link to a fairly short survey that we would really like you to fill out. We will use this information to help identify and celebrate what we are doing well at Wines, and also to inform us as to how we can improve on the service we provide to your children and our parent community. The survey is open until June 5th. I encourage all of our families to fill it out before the 5th. Below is the link.


Country Fair Volunteers!
Country Fair - Friday, June 1st. Everyone is invited...Everyone is needed !!

Over 150 volunteer opportunities are available and need to be filled to make the Wines Country Fair a success. We hope that every attending family helps in some fashion. Tomorrow, Thursday, May 24th, everyone will be receiving an email that includes a link to sign-up electronically via Volunteer spot (Deadline for sign-up is Tuesday, May 29th!)
All questions can be directed to Erin Telemaco 5telemaco@comcast.net
or call/text at 734-368-5826.

Speaking of Volunteers…Volunteer Recognition
We would like to recognize all of our parents who have volunteered your time at Wines this year. If you have volunteered our classrooms, our lunchroom, at PTO events, concerts, after school activities, in our special area classrooms, or anywhere else! You are invited to a Volunteer Coffee and Donuts recognition on Friday, June 1st from 8:15-9:00 AM in the Media Center.

Volunteers for Next Year
In today’s Wednesday Folder you will find a form for volunteers at events for the 2012-2013 school year. Please look for it.

More Country Fair
In today’s “paper” Wednesday Folder, your child will be coming home with a final Country Fair informational flyer. If you would like to take advantage of our online pre-order opportunity for Country Fair wristbands, food, and cakewalk tickets, the final day to order online is Sunday, May 25th. Please visit www.winespto.org/raffle/tickets.php. There will also be a table at the front entrance of school during pick up and drop off next week. As a reminder, please contact me directly if you would like a Country Fair Family Scholarship packet.

Student Council Update
The Wines Elementary Student Council is planning a fundraiser for the Vada Murray Fund for Cancer Research at this year’s Country Fair.  We will be selling two different types of t-shirts, bumper stickers, and static decals. The t-shirts will be sold for $20.00.  The bumper stickers, in the shape of a policeman’s badge, will be sold for $5.00. The static decals will be given to anyone who makes a donation under $5.00.  The fundraiser will run from 6:00-8:00. We will also be accepting donations without obligation to purchase.   Please consider helping this worthy cause!

PTO Meeting
Our final PTO meeting of the year is next Wednesday, May 30th at 7:00 PM. We will be finishing up with this year’s items and looking ahead to next year. As always, childcare is provided.

Attached to the weekly email sent home today were newsletters from Mrs. Hendrick and Ms. McNally.
