Dear Wines Families,
We have lots of important things happening at Wines right
now so I have a few announcements plus the October Wines Times Newsletter from
our PTO is hot off the presses. Please take a moment to read through today’s
messages.
Wines Times
Below is a link to the Wines Times Newsletter for October.
Please have a look!
Run-a-Thon: Next
Friday!!!!
Our annual Run-a-Thon is next Friday morning. We are getting
excited here and we will kick everything off on Friday with a Pep Rally
featuring Skyline basketball players, the Skyline Drum Line, and a special
appearance from Washtenaw County Sheriff Jerry Clayton!
We still need volunteers for the Run-a-Thon. Below is a link
to volunteer
Students will receive their pledge envelopes in on Friday.
Also, online pledging is already active. You can go to https://squareup.com/market/wines-elementary-school-pto/item/run-a-thon-donation-1
to make an online donation. This is the perfect way to reach out of town friends
and family. I just made my online pledge and it only take a couple of seconds!!
If you are sending this link to friends and family, be sure to let them know
your child’s classroom teacher. Also,
please put the student’s name in the notes section at checkout.

Science and Builders
Fair Nov. 10th
All students at Wines are welcome to participate in the
“Science and Builders Fair” on Thursday November 10th from 7pm
to 8 pm at the school. Registration is simple and is required. Fill
out the registration form on the event website by November
4th. Parents, please note that you may not be able to access this site
from your work computer. (For example, testing revealed that the University of
Michigan has a firewall that will prohibit entry.) It works from a mobile
device and there is a navigation menu at the top left.
The website contains all of the details about the fair,
registration, volunteer sign up and resources. http://winesscienceandbuilders.weebly.com/
Hope to see you there!
PTO Great Ideas
Grants
Do you have a great idea? The Great ideas Grant program is
an opportunity for Wines students, parents, and staff to turn a great idea into
a funded program to benefit the Wines community! The grant approval committee
meets twice a year to vote on applications. Submissions are now accepted online
only. The first deadline is fast approaching, November 1st. The links for
the Adult and Child application can be found on the Wines PTO website: www.winespto.org. Don’t let a great idea
go to waste! Submit now! Submit several!

In an effort to keep on top of our Lost and Found, we are
going to donate items every six weeks. We will be cleaning out the Lost and
Found next Thursday, Oct. 20th. Please remind your child to have a
look for lost items. Also, please label your child’s belongings. Lunchboxes are
a particularly “un-labeled” item. Thanks!
That’s all for this week!
David
