Weekly Blog 9/11


Dear Wines Families,

It was great seeing everyone at Curriculum Night last night. If you were not able to come or you forgot to sign up for a Parent/Teacher conference, please contact your child’s teacher to set up a date.

I want to remind everyone that a red take home folder was sent home with each child last Friday with all the important back to school information. Many of the forms need to be brought back to school. Please try to do that ASAP. If for some reason you did not receive a folder, please let the office know and we will get the information to you.

ThinkStretch summer workbooks are due on Friday. Please have your child turn the workbook in to his or her teacher. Medals will be going home for all participants next week.

I want to highlight a new club at Wines. This year we will have an after school Speech Debate Team. Participation in speech and debate is a great way to improve students' confidence and hone their creative and academic abilities. We are starting up a team here at Wines and are looking for parents and/or staff to help out. The team is for 5th graders and patient 4th graders. It will meet Wednesdays 3:45-5:15pm in Room 100 starting September 25, and there are 4-6 Saturday tournaments during the year where students can compete in team debate and several performance events (improv, prose & poetry, oral interpretation). Please contact Shawn Batt if you are interested in helping or if you know of students who would like to participate (shawnbatt@gmail.com  | 517-281-8521)

That’s all for today!

David
