Weekly Blog 6/5

Dear Wines Families,

I hope this finds you well as we enter the final few days for the school year. Kids are a bit restless, but hard work is still happening!

Country Fair Thank You!

Our Country Fair was another smashing success last Friday evening. The weather was perfect and the kids had a great time. For those new to the Fair, I’m sure you now know what a large event it is and I can’t thank everyone enough who was able to help out in some way. I want to give special thanks to a few folks who worked countless hours throughout the year to make the event so special.

• Denise Cope who chaired the organizing committee this year.

• Melissa Rilko who organized the Raffle.

• Stacy Guldal organized our volunteers

• Lori Shirilla who put the cakewalk together

• Jaimie Sussman for organizing the food. 

• Sara Meyer as our games coordinator.

• Lisa Hutton and Amy Cannon for help with the classroom baskets

• Jen Hinesman, Tracie Clarke, and Michelle Chien for all the help with the raffle. 

• Laurie McClatchey for the accounting work.

• Our entire PTO executive board—particularly president Kelly Collins—for all the support for the Fair and all our events this year.

I sincerely apologize if I have missed someone who should be on this list.

Saying Goodbye

As we all know, we will be saying goodbye to Mrs. Hospadaruk at the end of next week. In addition, it is with bittersweet emotions that Mrs. Caruso will also be retiring at the end of the year. After 34 years as a teacher (33 of them at Wines), Paula is ready, as she said, some time in warm weather during the cold Michigan winters. We wish both Paula and Beth the best and thank them for their service to children.

Be Sure to Re-Enroll

Every family should have received an email recently from backtoschool@a2schools.org with instructions on re-enrolling for the 2019-20 school year. Thank you to everyone who has done this. It only takes a minute and is required for every student. If you haven't yet, please do so right away. If you need assistance, please contact the office. 

Lost and Found

Our Lost and Found will be emptied one week from today, Wednesday June 12.

You May Have Heard…

As I promised the kids for their efforts for March is Reading Month and their hard work all year, I will be spending an evening on the roof of Wines tomorrow evening. Look for my tent!

Half Day on the Last Day of School

Next Friday, June 14^th is the last day of school. It is a half day which is different from our Early Release days. School ends at 11:39. There is no PM childcare. Students will receive their final report cards that day.

Medication

If your child has medication at school, please pick up your child’s medication by the last day of school. By law, we cannot keep the medication stored over the summer.

Thank you!
