Thanksgiving Wishes!

Hello Wines families, 

I want to extend a Happy Thanksgiving to our entire school community. I hope you all have a wonderful few days. I continue to be so thankful to be part of the Wines community. As we enter the long holiday weekend, I want to share a couple of good Thanksgiving news items with everyone as well as make a couple of announcements. 

I'm proud to report that today we held an assembly where we made a $1,700 donation to Alpha House. Our students voted for Alpha House as the recipient of at 10% donation from our Run-a-Thon proceeds. The kids were excited to give the check today and two representatives from Alpha House were here to accept the check and speak to the students about the wonderful services they provide to our community. 

I'm also pleased to announce that our Student Council exceeded their $1000 Halloween fundraising goal for UNICEF. Great job Wines! 

I want to again remind everyone that Picture Make-Up Day is Monday, Nov. 28th (that's next Monday). Please bring your old package to return. To order a picture package online, please visit www.inter-state.com and use the prepay code of 645782.

Our Scholastic Book Fair begins next week as well. Don't forget that Tuesday evening beginning at 6:30 is our Book Fair Family Night. 

We were going to donate our Lost and Found items to charity this weekend. However, we noticed today that there are still a lot of nice items in the Lost and Found that parents may still want to claim. We will keep the items for one more week. Book Fair Family Night next week would be a great time to check it out! 

Finally, if your child had a project in the display case from the Science and Builders Fair, our display has changed. The projects are in the office if you would like to pick it up. 

Have a great Thanksgiving.
