Dear Wines Families,
Dare I say spring is in the air? Hopefully it will last.
Just remember to continue to send your kids to school with boots and even snow
pants for the foreseeable future as the snow gives way to many weeks of mud…
I have a few important announcements this week:
Wines Wahoo Friday,
March 20th 6:30-8:30 @ Forsythe Middle School
Speaking of spring…Are you tired of the snow and cold?
Ready for a tropical escape? The Wines Wahoo is the perfect opportunity
to shake off the winter blues!
The Wines Wahoo is a luau-themed, fun, family event for all Wines students, their parents and younger siblings. The Wahoo includes music provided by a kid friendly DJ, fun activities in the gym, face painting, and tattoos. There will be pizza, snacks and beverages for sale. A parent or other adult over the age of 18 must accompany each Wines student. Children over 5th grade will not be admitted to the event but can volunteer. Younger siblings are invited to participate.
There is a suggested donation of $5 per family that helps to cover the cost of the DJ and decorations. There is also a nominal fee for the food. In order to make the Wahoo a success, we need many volunteers to help with set-up, admissions, refreshments, gym monitoring and clean-up. There will be several shifts, so you will have time to socialize and have fun with your kids. Please use the link below to sign up!

Report Cards
As you know, our teachers are busy putting the finishing
touches on their report cards. All AAPS elementary schools are sending home
report cards next Tuesday, March 17. Since Wines has a weekly Wednesday Folder
that goes home, we have decided that we will send our reports home on Wednesday
instead. If you would prefer to have your report card sent on Tuesday, please
let your child’s teacher know.
Vote for Parker!
One of our second grade students, Parker Carpenter is one of
ten finalists for the Comerica Cares Penguin Art Contest to welcome the Gentoo
penguins to the Detroit Zoo. The winning artist receives a class field trip to
the zoo as well as a $1000 grant for the school. You can vote for Parker’s art
via Facebook and Twitter. Below are links to the sites. He is listed as “Parker
C” on the page. Congratulations to Parker!
Friday Floor Hockey
Our first floor hockey game of the season will take place
this Friday morning beginning at 8:00. Any student can join us (and parents
too!) We hope to see you there! I’ve had a few parents volunteer to help get
the game going, etc. but if you are able to help out, please come Friday (or
any Friday).
Rotary Club/Food
Gatherers Food Drive
We will again be participating in the annual Rotary
Club/Food Gatherers Food Drive beginning next week. Bins will be at our
entrances. Please help out!
That’s all for this week. Please consider volunteering for
the Wahoo—we are in need of many more volunteers than we currently have.
