Dear Wine Families,
Spirit week is in full swing and we are excited about the
Run-a-Thon on Friday. Below is all the information for the week!
Run-a-Thon: Pledging
and Schedule
Last week your child brought home a packet of information
about the Run-a-Thon including information on how to make pledges. This is one
of our largest fundraisers of the year and we hope everyone can make some
commitment to collecting pledges—any amount helps. Last year’s proceeds went
directly to new technology including the purchase of 40 additional iPads and a
cart of 32 Chromebooks. This year, we are looking to continue our playground
improvements and, perhaps, continue our ongoing need for technology. In
addition, 100% of 5th grade proceeds go to our annual trip to Camp
Tanuga. Finally, a percentage of our collection will go to support Camp Tall
Tree, a camp for students with Autism.
Beginning Friday, pledges can be brought to school in the
provided envelopes. Pledges can be made online at https://squareup.com/market/wines-elementary-school-pto/item/run-a-thon-sponsor-a-child-please-enter-the-child-s-name-in-the-notes-section-at-checkout.
If you would like to cheer the kids on Friday morning,
please come! The schedule was sent in today's email.
Registration is open for the 2018 Science and Builders Fair!
The fair will take place at school at 7 PM on Thursday November 8th and the
entire school is welcome to participate or visit or BOTH!
To register, learn more, sign up to volunteer, or get
ideas please head to the website: https://winesscienceandbuilders.weebly.com/
Early Pick Ups
Over the past few weeks, we have seen a significant increase
in families coming into the office near the end of the day to pick up children
early. Without advanced notice, it is very difficult for us to retrieve
students at the end of the day. If you know you are going to need to pick up
early, please call school in the morning so we can make arrangements. As a
reminder, early pick ups should be for scheduled appointments only and not done
out of convenience. In addition to the educational challenges presented by
taking your child out of school early, please remember that we have 456
students and normally only one person running the office and the end of day is
extremely busy. Thank you.
That's all for this week. Looking forward to Friday's Run-a-Thon.
David
