Dear Wines Families,
Sorry for the lateness of today's blog entry. With the snow and
cancellations, my afternoon sort of got away from me! I hope everyone who has
incoming kindergarten students received the notice that our Round Up tonight
has been cancelled. We will have a new date posted within the next couple of
days.
Below is all the news for this week!
Parent Involvement Day Reminders
As I hope everyone knows, our annual Parent Involvement Day
is next Monday, February 10th. We hope parents can make it to Wines
for some part of the day. To help make the day go as planned, I have a couple
of important reminders.
RSVP: If you are planning on attending
Parent Involvement Day, please click HERE to
RSVP. Most importantly, if you are staying for lunch, please be sure to RSVP so
we can have an accurate count. We will be putting in our lunch order Thursday afternoon
so please RSVP right away if you haven’t already.
Lunch: We will have pizza, salad, and
garlic knots from NYPD Pizza for adult guests. Lunch will take place during the
regular student lunch. To help with crowding, we will open up space in the media
center for parents to eat and we will bring some tables and chairs into the
gymnasium as well.
Drinks: To be good stewards of the
environment, we will not be providing bottled water on Monday. We will
have our water tank available and cups. Of course, plastic cups aren’t much
better than plastic bottles! If you have your own water bottle, please bring it on
Monday or bring any other beverage of your choice.
Snacks: Our staff will provide snacks
available all day long in the teachers’ lounge. Stop by at any time to enjoy!
Assembly: At 1:30 we will
have an all school assembly with a slide show. There will be very little
seating for parents, but lots of standing room only seats!
Parking: There will be VERY limited parking
available. Please plan ahead and park legally in the neighborhoods around our
school. Please walk if you live close enough.
Pictures: Be sure to have your picture
taken with your child!
Girls on the Run-Spring 2014
Girls in grades 3-5 are invited to register for Girls on the
Run through February 10. Our Wines site is full, but we are seeking two
more volunteer coaches so that we can accommodate every girl who would like to
participate. Training for coaches is provided, and registration fees for
daughters of coaches are waived by GOTR. Please contact Suzanne Admiraal
at admiraal@umich.edu or 734-327-0695 for
more information. If you want to add your daughter to the waitlist, please
follow the registration instructions on the GOTR website (http://www.girlsontherunsemi.org/). The
Wines team will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school until 5:15,
beginning on March 11.
Wacky Fridays in February and March
Our student council will be organizing Wacky Friday’s for
school spirit during February and March. The dates are as follows:
FRIDAY 2/7: INSIDE-OUT / BACKWARDS DAY
FRIDAY 2/14: PJ DAY
FRIDAY 2/28: FASHION DISASTER DAY
FRIDAY 3/7: FAVORITE BOOK CHARACTER DAY
FRIDAY 3/21: HAWAIIAN CLOTHING DAY
Floor Hockey Fridays
Our second week of Friday Floor Hockey was another
success. We had just under 40 students participate allowing us to have a very
workable rotation. So, we will continue to allow anyone who is interested to
play! We start at 8:00 every Friday and parents are more than welcome
to join us for the game!
Be safe and enjoy the snow!
David
