Weekly Blog 12/4


Dear Wines Families,
It’s a busy week with lots going on now and in the coming weeks.

Book Fair
The Book Fair is off to a great start! It was nice to see so many families last evening. HUGE thank you to everyone who has signed up to volunteer for the Book Fair so far this year! I want to extend a sincere thanks to Stacy Guldal who is not only organizing the event, but is also putting in LOTS of hours on site daily all week.

There are a couple more volunteer opportunities for the Book Fair this year, including packing up on Friday afternoon! The process is quite simple: put books in boxes and close the cases. Scholastic makes things really easy and doesn’t require any sorting or counting of books! 

Please consider signing up to help out: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0B4FAAA62EA4F49-2019 

Also, please don’t forget to send in your All For Books donation baggies if you haven’t already donated! This particular program gives 100% of the benefits directly to the school and classroom libraries! Thank you to all who have donated so far! Questions, please contact Stacy Guldal (stacyguldal@gmail.com)

Spirit Wear
Spirit Wear sales end tonight at midnight. If you are still interested in ordering, please go to https://pogo.undergroundshirts.com/collections/wines-wildcat-apparel-fall-19

Unique Wines Auction Item?
The Wines Auction will be here soon! The event is a success every year due to the support of the school's fantastic family community! Do you or someone you know have a vacation home that you might consider donating use of as an auction item? If this is something you might consider, please contact Meera Meerkov at mmeerkov@gmail.com or 734.846.7519.

Lunchtime Extra Specials
Lunchtime Extra Specials are volunteer-led, indoor activities for kids to choose from as an alternative to outdoor recess in February and March. This is one of Wines students' favorite activities of the year, and we need volunteers to make it happen.
The commitment is one lunch period per week, for a total of 6 weeks, from Feb.4th- March 17th. If you have younger siblings at home with you during this time, feel free to bring them in with you!

Past activities have included yoga, knitting, paper airplane-making, arts and crafts, logic games, and board games. Have something else in mind? We're open to your creativity and ideas! Would you rather team up with someone else or take on an activity that's been done in the past? We can do that, too.
Please contact Michael Newberry (mnewberry88@gmail.com) to volunteer and share your ideas. We will schedule an orientation meeting in January to walk through the details and answer any questions. Thank you for considering!

Report Card Envelopes
Please return your child’s report card envelope that came home last week so we can use them again for the March report card. Thank you.

That’s all for this busy week!

David
