Weekly Blog 4/17

Dear Wines Families,
As we inch closer to the end of the school year, we will have lots of information to send out as we have lost of activities! So again this week, we have a long email. Please see below.

Spring Pictures
Spring pictures are being taken on Friday. You should have received a packet earlier this week or one will be coming home today. Pictures are optional and only students who have a packet or signed up online will have their picture taken.

Art Night Update
We need your 18 oz - 28 oz metal cans. We've gotten about 8 and we need a total of 65. We will use them to display some of the artwork so they need to be clean and label free. Leave them in the Art Room or contact Linda Peppin Qpep@comcast.net to make other arrangements if needed.
Thanks to all of the people who have helped out so far this week. If you can help prepare and hang the artwork for an hour or two during school hours this week, email Linda Peppin at Qpep@comcast.net to let us know. We also have time scheduled this Saturday (Science Olympiad) from 9 am – 1 pm to finish all of the hanging.

Girls on the Run 5K Event at Wines: Parents we need your help in making this event a success for our Girls!

Our Wines "Girls on the Run" team is holding a practice 5k event after school on Tuesday, April 30 and would like to invite you to run with us, cheer for us, or quench our thirst!  We will be starting at the front of school at 4pm.  Our route takes us through the Creal Park neighborhood.  It would be awesome if some families in the neighborhood could set up water tables for our runners or be in your front yards to cheer us as we run by.  Or, come to school at 4pm and run with us!  We are practicing for the end of the season run with all the Girls on the Run teams in southeastern Michigan which will take place on May 19 at Eastern Michigan University.  We'd love to see you there too.  For more information about the event or how to sign up to run with your daughter or support your Wines team, go to http://girlsontherunsemi.org/events/GOTR-events.php.  If you would like to help with our practice 5k or for more information, contact coach Jennifer Hall at a2halls@gmail.com.

Thanks,

David
