Weekly Blog 11/26


Dear Wines Families,
While this is a short week, there is some important information to share including this month’s PTO Wines Times Newsletter.

Wines Times
Below is a link to the monthly PTO Wines Times newsletter. Please have a read!

Book Fair
The Wines Scholastic Book Fair is starting as soon as we return from Thanksgiving break!! The book fair is one of the year’s biggest fund raisers and provides a fabulous resource for the students, teachers, and our school library. It’s also a great way to get some holiday shopping and stocking stuffers checked off your list! 

When can I shop? The fair will be open for sales starting on Tuesday evening for our Family Night from 6:30-8:00. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday parents and family are welcome to come and shop the fair with (or without) their child during the lunch hour. Also, every classroom will have a designated shopping window. Please, all students MUST be accompanied by an adult for any shopping that takes place outside of their designated class shopping time. No exceptions.

What if I can’t make it to the fair? If you can’t make it to our book fair in person, please consider shopping our online sale, found on our Scholastic Book Fair website (link below). Wines will still directly benefit from these sales beginning tomorrow (Wednesday 11/27) running through Tuesday 12/10. Books ordered through our online fair will be delivered before we leave for winter break.

How else can I help? We rely on parent volunteers to make our events at Wines Elementary run smoothly, and the book fair is no exception! Please consider signing up for a volunteer slot, we especially need volunteers for family night on Tuesday December 3rd and packing up the fair on Friday December 6th. Here is a link to the sign up genius: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0B4FAAA62EA4F49-2019. Thank you! 

Here is the link to our fair website for information on eWallet, our online sale, and more: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/wineselementaryschool! Please note: If you are using eWallet, please don’t make specific book requirements on the notes as we are never sure what our stock will look like at the time your child shops.

Email Stacy Guldal (stacyguldal@gmail.com) with any questions.

Visitor Management System Implementation
Beginning next Monday, we will be implementing our new visitor management system that will require visitors to present their drivers’ license or state identification in the main office. As many of you recall, we piloted this system last winter as our district was in the process of selecting a vendor. This system adds another layer of security in our school. It also adds another layer to our front office staff’s responsibilities so we ask for your patience and understanding. 

Spirit Wear
Spirit Wear is now on sale online. Sales will take place until Dec. 4th. Please go to the link below to order.

Report Cards
Report cards are being sent home today with students. We hope you find the information helpful. Please return the envelope so we can use them again in March.

Have a great Thanksgiving!

David
