Weekly Blog 5/8


Dear Wines Families,
As we enter May, the number of events and announcements at our school increase. Today begins our regular announcements about our largest event of the year, the Country Fair and Raffle. This event literally requires everyone to participate in some way in order for it to be a success. So please read the important information included today. Before that message, however, a couple of other reminders.

Art Night May 16
Join us for Art Night to celebrate our Wines student artists! 
Thursday, May 16th from 6:30-8PM.  
Bring a plate of cookies to share.  We will enjoy artwork created throughout the school year and the new PTO sponsored murals.  All students will have artwork in the exhibition.

Last Call on Parent Input for Class Placement
If you would like to provide input to help us in our class placement process, the link will stay live until Friday of this week. Below is the link.

Ok, now on to the important information about the Country Fair and Raffle.
GET READY FOR THE WINES COUNTRY FAIR & RAFFLE!
This event takes place on Friday, May 31, from 6:00–8:30 p.m. at Wines Elementary and features the ever-popular Cake Walk, carnival style games and prizes, Farmer John’s petting zoo, rock climbing wall, photo booth, Flush Tank, Illusionist Tyler Scott, and Raffle where students can enter to win themed prize baskets put together from items generously donated by Wines families, fun events with Wines teachers, and items from the community!

Want to help carry on this special tradition? This will be Denise’s last year managing this event so we need a shadow to take over the planning and coordination of the fair. It’s a great way to get involved and meet lots of fellow Wines families.
Country Fair questions? Email Denise Cope.

WE NEED YOU!
Events like this would not be possible without the efforts of devoted Wines parents like you. Please check out the following information on Raffle, Cake Walk, and Volunteers for more on how your family can help!

We’re also looking for two (or more) people to shadow Lisa Hutton and Amy Cannon this year. Lisa and Amy have the fun job of collecting the classroom basket donations and then arranging them into gift baskets for the school raffle. As this is Lisa's and Amy's last year it is a good time to learn what needs to be done by two experts!

WE APPRECIATE YOUR RAFFLE DONATIONS!
  • View the Raffle Items wish list.
  • K-5 Classroom Raffle Baskets: Each year the classrooms from each grade create an amazing raffle basket. Below are classroom themes for your donations. Collection baskets are located in each classroom. Classroom basket donations are being accepted through Friday, May 24.
    • Kindergarten - Arts & Crafts
    • 1st Grade - Legos
    • 2nd Grade - The Wonderful World of Science
    • 3rd Grade - Camping, Swimming & Outdoor Fun
    • 4th Grade - Sports & Outdoor Fun (Team regalia is great too!)
    • 5th Grade - It’s A High Tech World

CALLING ALL STUDENT BAKERS K-5 FOR THE COUNTRY FAIR CAKE WALK!
Bake a cake or cupcakes based on the theme "Music". Bring it in on Friday, May 31 by 9 a.m. to be eligible for the cake contest where teachers will judge cakes and award ribbons to the top three best-themed cakes in each grade. Entries will be used as prizes for the Cake Walk that evening and will be on display at the Country Fair! (Please note, we are not able to refrigerate items.) We also appreciate any donations of cakes and cupcakes from Wines families for Cake Walk prizes.
Cake Walk questions? Email Lori Shirilla.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
We rely heavily on parent volunteers to make this a wonderful end-of-the-year celebration for our students. Please sign up to help!

Also if you have a high school age student that needs volunteer hours or a middle school student who would like to get involved, we would love their help too!
Volunteer questions? Email Stacy Guldal.

That’s all for this week!
David
