Dear Wines Families,
This week’s message contains the October Wines Times Newsletter. There is a lot
happening here at Wines this month so it is a fairly large document. It will
load a bit slow on your computers, but it will load eventually! Below is the
link.
In addition to the Wines Times, I have a number of other
important announcements as well.
Run-a-Thon is Next
Week
Our annual Run-a-Thon is next Friday, October 16th.
We are kicking off our Run-a-Thon activities today when kids will be voting on
the charity where we will donate a portion of our proceeds. Kids will choose
between the Huron Valley Humane Society, Ozone House, or Peace Neighborhood
Center. On Friday we will hold our annual Run-a-Thon Pep Rally at 3:00. Players
from the Skyline Basketball team and the Skyline Drum Line will join us. Next
week we will hold a special Spirit Week as well. The Spirit Days are:
Monday: Pajama Day
Tuesday: Favorite Team Day
Wednesday: Silly Sock Day
Thursday: Wacky Hair or Hat Day
Friday: Run-a-Thon Team Spirit Day.
We Need Volunteers
for Run-a-Thon!
If you are willing to help out the day of the Run-a-Thon,
please go to the link below. We need many volunteers that day and it is one of
the easiest and most enjoyable volunteering opportunities we have at
Wines!
BYOT
As we discussed at length last year and this year at
Curriculum Night, Wines is again participating in Bring Your Own Technology
this year. Your child’s teacher will be in contact regarding specifics of
device use in his/her classroom. If you filled out a BYOT permission form last
year, that is valid for this year. In today's email, I included an attachment with the permission form for
new families or for anyone who did not participate last year and wishes to do
so this year. Again, look for information from your child’s teacher regarding
when/how devices will be used in class.
Science and Builders
Fair
All students at Wines are welcome to participate in the
“Science and Builders Fair” on November 5th from 7pm to 8
pm. Registration is simple and is required. Fill
out the form on the event website by November 3rd. Parents, please
note that you may not be able to access this site from your work computer. (For
example, testing revealed that the University of Michigan has a firewall that
will prohibit entry.) It should work from a mobile device and there is a nifty
navigation menu at the top left. Below is a link to the website.
I actually have a few other minor announcements today but
I’m realizing that this is a long enough message and I also want everyone to
read the Wines Times. So, that’s all
for now!
David
