Dear Wines Families,

I have a number of important announcements this week. Sorry for the long email!!

Movie Night
Our first Movie Night is this Friday beginning at 7:00. The movie is Space Chimps. As a reminder, Movie Night is not a drop off event. All students need to be accompanied by an adult.

Lost and Found
Our Lost and Found is full. We will be donating items during the Thanksgiving weekend. Please come and look through items before we leave for break. We will be “displaying” the items on tables beginning Friday. If you are coming to Movie Night, take a moment and look through the tables.

Book Fair
Our annual Book Fair takes place right after Thanksgiving. The Fair begins on Tuesday, November 27th and runs through Friday, November 30th. Our Book Fair Family Night is Tuesday the 27th. Attached to today’s email is an informational flyer. Have a look!

Thank You!!
I’m pleased to announce that Wines received the most tokens during the PTO Thrift Shop “Show Your Support” event. As a result, we earned $365 to help support Lunches with Love. Thank you Wines!! We will again participate from Dec. 30th-Jan. 5th. The PTO Thrift Shop continues to make many generous contributions to Wines and all AAPS schools. They also have lots of great stuff!! So please check them out.

Girls on the Run 5k event at Wines: We need your help!
Our Wines "Girls on the Run" team is holding a practice 5k event after school on Tuesday, November 27 and would like to invite you to run with us, cheer for us, or quench our thirst! We will be starting at the front of school at 4pm. Our route takes us through the Creak Park neighborhood. It would be awesome if some families in the neighborhood could set up water tables for our runners or be in your front yards to cheer us as we run by. Or, come to school at 4pm and run with us! We are practicing for the end of the season run with all the Girls on the Run teams in southeastern Michigan which will take place on Dec. 9th at Eastern Michigan University. We'd love to see you there. For more information about the event or how to sign up to run with your daughter or support your Wines team, go to http://girlsontherunsemi.org/events/GOTR-events.php. If you would like to help with our practice 5k or for more information, contact coach Nasreen Islam at nrislam@comcast.net.

Vada Murray Fund for Cancer Research “Tailgate”
Attached to today’s email is an informational flyer about an upcoming event at Michigan Theater to support the Vada Murray Fund for Cancer Research. You can watch the Michigan/Ohio State game on the big screen at the theater and help raise money and awareness. This sounds like a great event!

Music Room News
Attached to today’s email is the most recent newsletter from Ms. McNally from the music room.

That’s all!
