Weekly Blog 11/8

Dear Wines Families,

I want to first thank everyone who has been able to attend a parent teacher conference this month or is planning on attending over the next week or so as we conclude our fall conferences. At some level, the parent teacher conference is a bit of a remnant of the distant past when that was the only time parents had the opportunity to communicate with their child’s teacher. In today’s day and age, we pride ourselves on nearly constant communication with families. However, having that face to face meeting to discuss progress and goals is still a powerful opportunity and we thank you for participating. On to the news of the week:

Science and Builders Fair

We are all set for our annual Science and Builders Fair tomorrow night beginning at 7:00 PM. Even if your child is not participating, I encourage you to come and enjoy this unique event.

Picture Re-Take Day Nov. 14

If your child was absent on Picture Day or you the smile wasn’t quite right, our re-take day is next Tuesday, Nov. 14. If you have a picture package that you are not happy with, please have your child bring the package back to school and give it to the photographer. If your child was absent, you can order online at www.inter-state.com/order and our unique code is 22872ZA.

Lost and Found

Our Lost and Found is filling up once again and with winter coming, it will grow. We will be donating unclaimed items to charity the week after Thanksgiving break. Please have a look if you are missing items.

Skyline “Music & a Meal”

Please consider attending Skyline High School’s Music & A Meal next Tuesday, November 14.  Music & a Meal is the primary fundraiser for the Skyline Friends of the Arts (SFA), which benefits all students involved in band, choir, orchestra, and theater.  The Music & a Meal consists of an all-you-can-eat pancake supper from 5:00pm-6:30pm in the Skyline Commons, and then the Skyline Marching Band leads everyone into the Auditorium for a free concert showcasing all of the Skyline arts groups starting at 7:00pm. 

Discount tickets are still available for pre-order through today - Wednesday, November 8!  Purchase your tickets in advance for $8.00 (tickets at the door will be $10.00) by going online to: http://www.skylinearts.org/music-and-a-meal – children 6 and under eat free and the concert is free as well!  For more information email John at musicandameal@skylinearts.org.

That’s’ all for this week.
