Weekly Blog 11/30

Dear Wines Families,
There is a lot to share today, please take a moment to read through today’s information.

Wines Book Fair: Dec. 6-9
Our annual Book Fair is right around the corner. The Fair begins on Tuesday, Dec. 6th and our annual Family Night is that same evening from 6:30-8:00.
Again this year, we will also have an online sale. In fact, online sales are already open. You can purchase items online at: http://www.scholastic.com/bf/wineselementaryschool
All books ordered online will ship directly to Wines and will be delivered before winter break. Parents and relatives can designate if the order is a gift.

The Book Fair is a GREAT volunteer opportunity. Below is a link to the volunteer sign up. We still need volunteers!

Spirit Wear: Order Deadline is Monday
Wines Spirit Wear is now available for purchase! Follow the link below to select from a variety of styles of t-shirts, long-sleeve shirts, and sweatshirts for children and adults.  Spirit Wear is available for purchase until midnight on Monday, December 5 and will be delivered to Wines during the last week of school before winter break.  Thank you to Angela Becker-Chase for all of her work on designing the shirts and getting this Spirit Wear sale up and running!

Classroom Art Projects for Wines Auction
Its that time of the year when we start to put ideas together for the classroom art projects for the auction. We are looking for 2 volunteers for each classroom to help the children make a project that will be auctioned of at the event next year.
It's a fun thing to do and we stress you DO NOT have to be good at art/crafts to do this.

Some items we made in the past were decorated wine glasses, a cheese plate, cook book, a painted garden chair, and mobiles. If you are interested or would look to hear more about it please attend the meeting on Thursday 8th at 9.00am in the teachers’ lounge.

If you cannot make the meeting but would like to help then please contact Kathryn Werns: ktwerns@gmail.com

Girl Scouts Toy Drive
The Wines Girl Scouts are running a Toy Drive to benefit the needy families served by the SOS Center (http://www.soscs.org/). New, unwrapped toys can be placed in the boxes near the entrances to Wines between December 1 and 16.  They will be given to parents by the SOS Center to make the holidays bright for their little ones.  Thank you for helping us give back to our community!

Parking lot Reminder: Important letter from AAFD
Finally, in today's email I sent a link to a letter I received from the Ann Arbor Fire Department regarding vehicles being left unoccupied at pick up and drop off at our entrances. I explained that while our lot is busy, we do not allow parents to leave their cars. This is a good reminder that the pick up/drop off lanes are “moving” lines as described in detail multiple times. Let me know if you have questions.
