Spring seems to finally be here! With spring comes nice weather and it also brings busy times to Wines as we inch closer to the end of the school year. Over the coming weeks, my weekly emails may begin to be a bit longer and additional emails will begin to come from me as we prepare for end of the year activities--the Country Fair and Raffle in particular. So please spend a few minutes making sure you are up to date with everything. Thanks!
Parent Input for Class Placement
We will soon begin making initial determinations of student placement for next fall. We do not yet know our classroom configurations or our staffing assignments yet, but we will begin making those decisions soon. Below is a link to a survey for parents to provide input to us as we make these placements. The survey is optional. As always, we do not accept requests for individual teachers, but the survey does allow you to highlight things about your child for us to consider. Below is the link.
PARENT INPUT SURVEY FOR CLASS PLACEMENT
Please Vote May 5
Next Tuesday there is a School Bond Proposal on the ballot. I encourage our families to educate yourselves about the bond and be sure you get to the polls next Tuesday. Below is a link to an informational video about the proposal.

Girls on the Run Practice 5K at Wines on Tuesday, May 5
The Wines Girls on the Run team will be holding a practice 5K after school on Tuesday, May 5, and you are invited to run with us, cheer for us, or volunteer at our water station! The practice 5K will begin at approximately 4 PM near the Wines main entrance. Our route loops through the Creal Park neighborhood twice before ending at the Wines main entrance. This event is part of our preparation for the season finale: the Girls on the Run 5K on UM's North Campus on May 17. Please e-mail Coach Suzanne Admiraal (admiraal@umich.edu) for more information or to volunteer to help out on May 5. Thank you for your support!
That's all for this week!
