Weekly Blog 10/14

Dear Wines Families,

Spirit Week is in full gear this week and the kids are having a great time! As you know, our Spirit Week is designed to help get kids enthused about our Run-a-Thon that takes place this Friday. Below are some Run-a-Thon updates as well as information about the Science and Builders Fair.

Run-a-Thon Update

On Monday, your child should have come home with a Run-a-Thon packet with all the information regarding how to collect pledges, and information about the event. If you need me to send you an electronic copy of the information, please let me know. The easiest way to collect pledges is to have friends and families pay online. On the front page of our PTO website (www.winespto.org) there is a link to the Run-a-Thon pledge forms. Those who make pledges will need to know your child’s teacher so please pass that information on to your friends and family. We are also asking that kids turn in a pledge envelope even if all of their pledges are done online (you do not need to know exactly who or how much $ was raised online just a note that there are online pledges—this helps with our record keeping). To reach our school wide pledge goal, the total average pledge amount raised will be $50 per student. However, ANY amount raised will help our school and any student who brings in a pledge will receive a great gift.

We are still looking for volunteers for Friday’s event. Please click on the link below to sign up. If when you go to the link and you see an email address for someone else, simply erase that address and add your own.

Science and Builders Fair
All students at Wines are welcome to participate in the “Science and Builders Fair” on November 5th from 7pm to 8 pm.  Registration is required but you need not have your project idea finalized in order to register. Need some inspiration? Use the navigation menu to browse the site for project ideas and other cool stuff.The website is getting lots of hits and registrations are rolling in.  (As a friendly reminder, it works from most mobile phones but access is blocked at any umich computer.) 

I hope to see you out cheering the kids Friday morning. Friday is also a Walk to School Day.

David
