Weekly Blog 1/17

Dear Wines Families,
I have lots of important news to share today.

MLK Assembly this Friday at 2:00
Due to last Friday’s snow day, our MLK assembly will take place this Friday at 2:00. As I indicated last week, parents are more than welcome to join us for this special event. Please note that parent seating will be extremely limited.

Special PTO Meeting Jan. 23
Our PTO is hosting a special meeting next Tuesday, Jan. 23rd at 7:00 PM. Child Psychiatrist Dr. Thomas Atkins will be our guest. Dr. Atkins along with representatives from Washtenaw County Community Mental Health’s Youth and Family program will be discussing childhood depression and anxiety. Come learn about the challenges facing our kids today as well as resources to support them. If you are planning on attending, we ask that you RSVP so we can plan for our use of space and for handouts, etc. Below is a link to the RSVP. I hope you can join us for this unique and important discussion.


International Night Jan. 31st
Thanks to everyone who already submitted a form to host a country for International Night! We still have plenty of space for more countries, below is a link to the form once again.

In addition to participants, we are also looking for volunteers to help during the event. There are many different roles to help out. Below is a link to a volunteer Sign Up.

Generosity Project
I hope your children shared with you information about our assembly yesterday and our school wide participation in the Generosity Project. We have teamed up with the Generosity Project for this unique service project. We are collecting cleaning supplies to support Humble Design, a group that helps homeless families with housing. Each classroom is collecting a single product and we will be filling bags with the supplies next month. In today's email I included a letter explaining the project as well as a link to a list of what each class is supplying. We are extremely excited and honored to be participating in this service project.
