Weekly Blog 10/25

Dear Wines Families,
Since tomorrow is a half day of school, I wanted to get this week’s message out a bit early. Speaking of the half day, our bell will ring at 11:53. There is no after school childcare at Wines and no after school Rec and Ed classes. Our staff will be engaged in important professional development during the afternoon.

Run-a-Thon
Our Run-a-Thon was another great event. Now is the time to collect all of our pledges. You can still send in your pledges all week. Online pledges can be made at https://squareup.com/market/wines-elementary-school-pto/item/run-a-thon-donation-1.
While there is no minimum donation—and every penny helps—to reach our goal we want to average about $50 per child. Again, ANY amount helps and most importantly, we want every child to participate.

Science and Builders Fair: Nov. 10
All students at Wines are welcome to participate in the "Science and Builders Fair" on Thursday November 10th from 7pm to 8 PM at the school.  Registration is simple and is required. 20 projects registered in this last week!

The website can be accessed from a mobile device and there is a navigation menu at the top left allowing you to view a resource page filled with links to idea sites! The website contains all of the details about the fair, registration, and volunteering sign up too. Please register by November 4th!
