Dear Wines Families,
We are having an exciting Spirit Week at Wines this week as
we prepare for the Run-a-Thon on Friday morning. While the Run-a-Thon isn’t the
only thing happening at Wines this week, it certainly is a focal point and I
want to make sure everyone has all the information you need.
Pledges
On Monday your child came home with a Run-a-Thon
informational packet and pledge form along with an envelope. Students can
collect pledges now and we will collect envelopes starting Monday for two weeks
until Oct. 24. We hope that every Wines student can collect something and any
amount will help our school! We have school and classroom goals that equate to
an average of $50 raised per child. Again, any amount will help. Pledges can be
made by check made out to Wines PTO or online. Online pledges can be made at https://squareup.com/market/wines-elementary-school-pto.
Please indicate your child’s name in the Comments section of the online
purchase. Also, even if pledges are made online, please have your child turn in
a pledge form indicating that pledges have been made (even if you don’t know
the amount that was pledged online).
Volunteers
There is still room for volunteers to help out Friday
morning. If you can volunteer, please go to http://vols.pt/U9JLLU.
Day of the Event
Information
If you pre-registered as an adult participant, a parent
volunteer will be stationed outside Friday morning with your t-shirt. If you
did not pre-register, you can still run with your child! Unfortunately, we will
not have extra t-shirts. If you want to join the fun but not run, please join
us to cheer the runners on! Below is a
schedule of when each grade level is running to help you plan your day.

In Other Wines News
Today was a great morning as we celebrated International
Walk to School Day. The weather was much better than last Friday and we had
lots of walkers. Big thanks to Anita Fontana for organizing Walktober. We will be walking again this
Friday morning and each Friday morning for the rest of the month.
Fairy Garden is
Taking Shape!
You may have noticed that our Fairy Garden committee has
been hard at work preparing our Fairy Garden. The garden will be located near
the Kindergarten entrance behind the Butterfly Garden. This is a very exciting
project that ultimately will not only be fun, but will have broad
cross-curricular connections for all grades. I want thank Jill Anthony,
Patricia Beals, and of course, Janice Hendrick for all their work on this
project. I also know that many more parents have participated and will continue
to participate to complete this wonderful project. I also want to thank
Downtown Home and Garden who donated 100 Daffodils to the project!
That’s all for this week. As always, do not hesitate to
contact me with any questions.
David
