Weekly Blog 2/5


Dear Wines Families,

Sorry for the lateness of today's blog entry. With the snow and cancellations, my afternoon sort of got away from me! I hope everyone who has incoming kindergarten students received the notice that our Round Up tonight has been cancelled. We will have a new date posted within the next couple of days. 

Below is all the news for this week!

Parent Involvement Day Reminders
As I hope everyone knows, our annual Parent Involvement Day is next Monday, February 10th. We hope parents can make it to Wines for some part of the day. To help make the day go as planned, I have a couple of important reminders.

RSVP: If you are planning on attending Parent Involvement Day, please click HERE to RSVP. Most importantly, if you are staying for lunch, please be sure to RSVP so we can have an accurate count. We will be putting in our lunch order Thursday afternoon so please RSVP right away if you haven’t already.

Lunch: We will have pizza, salad, and garlic knots from NYPD Pizza for adult guests. Lunch will take place during the regular student lunch. To help with crowding, we will open up space in the media center for parents to eat and we will bring some tables and chairs into the gymnasium as well.

Drinks: To be good stewards of the environment, we will not be providing bottled water on Monday. We will have our water tank available and cups. Of course, plastic cups aren’t much better than plastic bottles! If you have your own water bottle, please bring it on Monday or bring any other beverage of your choice.

Snacks: Our staff will provide snacks available all day long in the teachers’ lounge. Stop by at any time to enjoy!

Assembly: At 1:30 we will have an all school assembly with a slide show. There will be very little seating for parents, but lots of standing room only seats!

Parking: There will be VERY limited parking available. Please plan ahead and park legally in the neighborhoods around our school. Please walk if you live close enough.

Pictures: Be sure to have your picture taken with your child!

Girls on the Run-Spring 2014
Girls in grades 3-5 are invited to register for Girls on the Run through February 10. Our Wines site is full, but we are seeking two more volunteer coaches so that we can accommodate every girl who would like to participate. Training for coaches is provided, and registration fees for daughters of coaches are waived by GOTR. Please contact Suzanne Admiraal at admiraal@umich.edu or 734-327-0695 for more information. If you want to add your daughter to the waitlist, please follow the registration instructions on the GOTR website (http://www.girlsontherunsemi.org/). The Wines team will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school until 5:15, beginning on March 11.

Wacky Fridays in February and March
Our student council will be organizing Wacky Friday’s for school spirit during February and March. The dates are as follows:
FRIDAY 2/7: INSIDE-OUT / BACKWARDS DAY
FRIDAY 2/14: PJ DAY
FRIDAY 2/28: FASHION DISASTER DAY
FRIDAY 3/7: FAVORITE BOOK CHARACTER DAY
FRIDAY 3/21: HAWAIIAN CLOTHING DAY

Floor Hockey Fridays
Our second week of Friday Floor Hockey was another success. We had just under 40 students participate allowing us to have a very workable rotation. So, we will continue to allow anyone who is interested to play! We start at 8:00 every Friday and parents are more than welcome to join us for the game!

Be safe and enjoy the snow!
David
