Weekly Blog 10/4

Dear Wines Families,
Thanks to everyone who participated in International Walk to School Day today. We had a great turnout. As a reminder, we will walk each Friday beginning this week for the month of October. Here is the news for this week:

Wines Times
The monthly Wines Times newsletter is ready. Please click on the link below for all of this month’s news from our PTO.

Run-a-Thon is next Friday!!
Our annual Run-a-Thon is next Friday morning. In your child’s Wednesday Folder today, you will find the paper copy of the pledge forms. Pledges can also be made online at https://squareup.com/market/wines-elementary-school-pto/item/run-a-thon-donation-1. Please share the online pledge form for out of town friends and family! The Run-a-Thon is one of them most exciting days of the year and is also one of our few main fundraisers. We hope everyone can participate in collecting pledges.

Spirit Days
The next seven school days will be special spirit days. Tomorrow, Thursday, we will kick off our Run-a-Thon with a pep rally at the end of the day. We are asking any student who has a Run-a-Thon t-shirt from previous years to wear their shirt on Thursday. On Friday, we will celebrate the Michigan/MSU rivalry and if kids are fans of either team, we want them to show their team pride (I hope the maize and blue is more prevalent!).

Next week we will have our annual Spirit Week as we prepare for Run-a-Thon. The days are:
Monday: Crazy Hair Day
Tuesday: Pajama Day
Wednesday: Wacky Sock Day
Thursday: Favorite Team Day
Friday: Run-a-Thon (all students receive a t-shirt and classrooms will have unique themes).

Walk to School
We had a great first day of Walktober today. We will now walk each Friday this month.

That’s all for this week!

David
