Weekly Blog 11/18

Dear Wines Families,

I have a number of important announcements today.

Blue Ribbon Celebration

Our Blue Ribbon celebration is taking place tomorrow, Thursday, at 2:30 PM. As I’ve said before, we have a fairly full house with now 41 confirmed special guests. With that said, we’ve mapped out the logistics and seating and it appears that we will have about the same amount of space as a “normal” assembly. In other words, there will be some limited standing room only space available in the hallway outside of the Media Center for parents. “Limited” is the key word in that sentence! Also, the entire ceremony will be professionally video taped.  Please note, if your child needs to leave school early tomorrow, we ask that you pick them up before the assembly by 2:15.  We will not be able to easily pull students out of the assembly.

Report Cards

Your child’s report card will be coming home next Tuesday. Please look for it! As always, we strive for the report card to to be a formal way of telling you things you already know about your child from your parent/teacher conference and other communications. Please contact your child’s teacher with any questions or concerns about the report card.

Wines “Offsite” Auction Committee
Does the idea of a fun night for parents-only built around the Wines Auction appeal to you?  The PTO is currently discussing the idea and would love your help!  If you are interested in joining a committee to research, discuss, and perhaps even plan an offsite auction, please contact Annemarie Dolan at akilburndolan@comcast.net.

Girls on the Run

Girls on the Run will be starting in March and we are already getting started planning! An informational flyer was attached to today's email with registration information. GOTR is open to all girls at Wines in grades 3-5. 

No School Next Wednesday-Friday

School will be closed for Thanksgiving break next Wednesday through Friday.

That’s all for now!
