Weekly Blog 10/24


Dear Wines Families,

Here is the news for the week!

Halloween
Next Wednesday we will celebrate Halloween here at Wines. All Halloween related activities will take place in the afternoon. If students are bringing costumes, please have them bring their costumes in a bag and kids will dress in the afternoon. Please refer to information from your child’s teacher regarding classroom activities. We will again go on our annual parade through the neighborhood beginning at 2:30. Our route will take us out Cooley to Saunders. Left on Saunders to Hillridge. We will then enter the Forsythe grounds from Hillridge and return through the front door of Wines.

A note about costumes: We always strive to have kids’ costumes be as “friendly” as possible. As a parent, I’ve learned that finding friendly costumes is a challenge. At the very least, please make sure that there are absolutely no fake weapons or fake blood as part of any costume. I’ll also share my yearly rule of thumb: If you have a question about whether a costume or costume prop is appropriate or not, it probably isn’t appropriate for school.

Great Ideas Grants
Do you have a great idea? The Great ideas Grant program is an opportunity for Wines students, parents, and staff to turn a great idea into a funded program to benefit the Wines community! The grant approval committee meets twice a year to vote on applications. Submissions are now accepted online only.  The first deadline is November 1st.
