Weekly Blog 11/13

Dear Wines Families,
We have a number of important announcements this week:

Picture Retakes Friday
Friday is Picture Retake Day. If your child did not have his or her picture taken or that smile just wasn’t right, Friday is the day. Remember, if your child had his/her picture taken and you would like to try again, please bring the old pictures with you. Attached to today's email were two pieces of information from our picture company including online ordering information.

Movie Night
Friday evening is our first Movie Night of the year. We will be showing My Neighbor Totoro. Kids, if you like to bake, this is your chance to show off your favorite treat! Please bring a plate of baked goods and 20 copies of your recipe to share. Taste what your friends have made and take home new recipes to try. You don't have to participate in the baking event to come to (or eat at) the Movie Night. Everyone who comes can enjoy the baked goods. But this is a fun chance for all bakers to share their recipes and treats. Questions? Contact Kelly Hunter-Bryner: khbryner@yahoo.com.
