Weekly Blog 10/28

Dear Wines Families,

I hope this message finds you well on this rainy day. Interestingly, today was our first indoor lunch recess of the year. That speaks to the wonderful weather we’ve had this fall. I have just a few announcements today:

Halloween
Our Halloween parade will begin at 2:30 on Friday. We will exit the building and head out Cooley. We will go left on Saunders Crescent and then left on Hillridge. We will then enter the Forsythe property near their soccer fields from the entranc on Hillridge. Parents, you are more than welcome to walk with us! You can also station yourself along the sidewalk from Forsythe to see the entire parade.

Classrooms will be celebrating either before or immediately after the parade. Please refer to communications from your child’s teacher regarding celebration plans. Please keep costumes fun and positive. Absolutely no fake weapons or fake blood will be allowed. Students should bring their costumes in a bag, as they will not change until the afternoon. If you would prefer not to have your child participate in Halloween activities, please let me know and we will have an alternative activity available.

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 only requires Name, Grade and a commitment to Science or Builders Fair- you do not have to have your idea finalized!  Registration closes on November 3rd- but it's certainly not too late to come up with an idea and make it happen! Remember, students have no school on Monday and Tuesday of next week providing the perfect opportunity to start and finish projects! There are lots of resources on the website to help inspire!  We are looking for more adults to help! If you have a love for Science or Building please sign up on the volunteer page to be an evaluator. (As a friendly reminder, it works from most mobile phones but access is blocked at any umich computer.) 

Do You Have Old Wines T-Shirts?
We are working on a project for our Blue Ribbon Ceremony and we are looking for old Wines T-shirts or sweatshirts. If you have older children who have come through Wines or perhaps if you are a former Wines student with “classic” shirts sitting around, we can use them! Please note that if you donate your shirt, you will not get it back. However, it will become part of something very special!

Walk to School
Friday is our final Walk to School Day as Walktober comes to a close. Big thanks to Anita Fontana and our PTO for another fantastic month!

No School Next Monday and Tuesday
There is no school Monday, Nov. 2 and Tuesday, Nov. 3. Teachers will be working on report cards on Monday and engaged in professional development on Tuesday.

That’s all for this week!
