Dear Wines Families,
We are enjoying a fun Spirit Week this week in anticipation of a fantastic Run-a-Thon on Friday. Run-a-Thon is one of the most enjoyable days of the year—and this year’s weather will make it even better! It is also our most important fundraiser. If you haven’t signed up to volunteer and are able, please read below and if you have not begun fundraising, please also see below! And of course, whether you are volunteering or not, you are welcomed and encouraged to come see the kids run! You’ll see below the schedule of when each grade level is running.
This will be the last lengthy email for a while so please read through about Run-a-Thon and much more!
Run-a-Thon This Friday!
Important Information:
ATTEND AND CHEER: Come to Wines this Friday morning, October 3rd to watch & cheer on your runner at Wines.
The 10/3 Running Schedule per grade can be found HERE.
LET'S HIT 100% PLEDGE PARTICIPATION!
• Each classroom has a fundraising goal of 100% participation (of any donation amount). Classrooms that hit 100% will get to THROW A PIE IN MY FACE! Our smallest but mighty donation is 13 cents. Every little amount helps and I can honestly say that I really want all 20 classrooms to hit me with a pie!
• Students can make their donations by giving their Runathon envelope to their teacher or you can also make pledges for your runner(s) via credit card on our Wines Runathon donation site: Click Here
Also, we need Volunteers to make the event a success. Please sign up to set up, hand runners rubber bands, prizes, snacks or help break down the event HERE.

Walktober starts next week with International Walk to School Day on Wednesday. For those students who don’t live within walking distance, parents can drop off near school and have kids walk the rest of the way. Bus riders will be dropped off at Forsythe where I will meet them along with the morning care students.
Walktober volunteers still needed. Click HERE
*If your family is biking to school, see the Bike Bus flyer with morning meet up times and locations for the 8th.
