Dear Wines Families,
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. We had a very
relaxing few days and other than that horrible football game Saturday, we
enjoyed every minute of the long weekend. Today’s message is fairly lengthy
which means we have a lot of great things happening at Wines. Please take a
couple minutes to read this week’s news.
Lunchtime “Extra
Specials” Needs You!
One of our students’ favorite activities of the year, Lunchtime
Extra Specials, urgently needs a coordinator! Extra Specials are
scheduled to begin the week after we return from winter break and we still need
a volunteer to oversee this activity. In Extra Specials, students are
offered the opportunity to take one lunch recess period per week (for each of
two, three-week sessions) to stay indoors and engage in an activity that is
facilitated by a parent volunteer. Responsibilities of the coordinator include
the following:
• Establish a list of activities offered during extra
specials, based on parent volunteer preferences (we have a long history of
offering extra specials so most coordinators simply repeat what was done in
prior years)
• Assign students to one extra special activity of his/her choice for each of the two sessions
• Ensure available space and materials are available for participants
• Assign students to one extra special activity of his/her choice for each of the two sessions
• Ensure available space and materials are available for participants
The parent volunteer who coordinated Extra Specials last year is still at Wines but has taken on additional responsibilities and needs someone to manage the Extra Specials process. She is happy to help show a new volunteer the ropes and get kids assigned to activities. We have plenty of parent volunteers who have offered to run various Extra Special sessions and now just need someone to manage the details. We must have a volunteer in place by December 12 in order for Extra Specials to proceed
