Dear Wines Families,
I have a number of important announcements this week so this email will be a bit longer than usual. Here goes (in no particular order):
First off, I want to point your attention to Ms. McNally’s Music Room Newsletter attached to today’s email.
As many of you know, last week the Lieberman family lost their home to a fire. Obviously, this has been a hard week for the family. Mackenzie is back to school here at Wines and the kids have been wonderful. They have given her a little extra love, but they have also done a great job of making Wines a place of normalcy for her. I have spoken to Scott and Samantha and they wanted me to express their sincere gratitude to everyone for their support and offers of assistance over the past week. They also wanted me to let everyone know that while the fire was devastating, they are quite fortunate in that they have had a very responsive insurance company and they have everything they need at this point. While they are most appreciative of the many offers they have received, other than our positive thoughts, the family is not in need of additional assistance. In the event that needs arise, I will let everyone know how we can help.
Picture re-take day is Monday, Nov. 28th (the Monday after we come back from Thanksgiving break). If your child did not have his or her picture taken, we will take it then. If there was a hair out of place, eyes closed, or any other reason why you would like to have a re-take, please send your child to school (with his hair combed) and with the old picture package. To order a picture package online, please visit www.inter-state.com and use the prepay code of 645782. Attached to today's email is a flyer with more information.
We need your help in the office. We understand that life for everyone is busy and unforeseen changes to schedules, etc. happen all the time. At the same time, when we receive “last minute” changes at the end of the day as to where children are going after school, etc. it can be very challenging to get the information to the teacher and the child. This presents a potential safety concern for our kids. We are working on making a few changes to our own system at school, but you can help as well. If possible, please let us know by 12:00 each day if there is a change to any plans. If the change comes after 12:00, please let us know as soon as you can. If we receive word after 3:00, it becomes extremely challenging for us and we can’t guarantee that the message will make it to the teacher or child. Thank you!!
Our Lost and Found is full!! If your child is missing items, please have him or her take a look before Thanksgiving break. During the break, we will be donating remaining items to charity.
Friday is the last day to bring in leftover candy to our office. The Junior Girl Scouts want to thank everyone for their donations and a nice shipment will soon be on the way to soldiers overseas!
Friday evening at 7:00 is our second Movie Night of the year. Bring your pillows for a viewing of Everyone’s Hero. If you come to Movie Night, you might want to check out the lost and found!
Lunchtime Extra Specials to start in January! Attention Wines parents! Do you have a special talent or interest you'd like to share with the students at Wines? Are you a super Speed Stacker? Do you like to build with legos? Are arts and crafts your thing? This is one of the most popular activities our kids get to do at Wines, and as always, we need ideas and helpers. Please send an email to winesextraspecials@gmail.com with any thoughts you have on things 1st-5th graders can enjoy during a lunch recess. There will be 2 three-week sessions starting January 17th, 2012!
Sincerely,
David
