Dear Wines Families,
Greetings from quarantine!
I continue to have mild COVID symptoms and so I feel quite fortunate as I know many of you and your families have had more challenging cases. I also feel very fortunate that we have such an amazing team at Wines and I know our kids and families are in great shape during my absence. Special thanks to Sarah Schemanske who I hope has a good data package on her cell phone as I have been texting her seemingly every five minutes!! I look forward to seeing everyone on Monday. In the meantime, here is the news for the week:
Picture Day Tuesday Oct. 4
Picture Day at Wines is next Tuesday. All orders are done online this year. Please go to https://inter-state.com/FlyerEntry/70941DF to make your order. All students will have their picture taken regardless of whether you purchase a package or not. All students at Wines will also receive a yearbook regardless of package purchases.
Walktober
As the calendar turns to October, we will again participate in our annual “Walktober” tradition at Wines and encourage walking to school. We will begin next Wednesday, Oct. 5th, when we will participate in International Walk to School Day. We will then celebrate walking to school every Friday in October. Next Wednesday and every Friday in October our buses will drop the students off in Forsythe’s south parking lot so our bus students can walk as well. It’s always great to see groups of kids and families walking to Wines!
Run-a-Thon is Coming Up!
Our annual Run-a-Thon is right around the corner on Friday, Oct. 14. The event takes place during the school day and is a great community event! In addition to just being a great day to spend at Wines, Run-a-Thon is also a fun and easy volunteer opportunity. If you are interested in helping out that day, please go to: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050f48a9a823a3f49-wines1 and sign up.
The Run-a-Thon is our largest fundraiser and pledge packets will be coming home next week. We will also host our annual “Pep Rally” featuring the Skyline Drumline next Friday, Oct. 7. While we are still a couple weeks away, friends and family can start supporting our students now! Online pledges can be made at https://www.ptowines.org/wines-runathon. This is a great way to reach friends and family from out of town. There is a link for corporate sponsorships at that link as well. Corporate sponsorships are due no later than this Friday.
Cub Scouts Returns to Wines
Cub Scout Pack 3078 is returning to Wines! Cub Scouting is open to all genders, grades K-5. We will be having a kick-off meeting at 7:30pm tomorrow (9/28) in the Cafeteria. If you can't join us and would like more information contact Cubmaster Seth Guikema at seth.guikema@gmail.com
Volunteers
Thank you to the many parents who have registered to volunteer at our school. If you have registered already, we have processed your background check and you are all set to begin. If you have not registered, please fill out the form below. I realize many of you did this last year. Please note that this is a yearly requirement to register and provides an important layer of safety for our students.
That’s all for this week. I’m looking forward to being back with the kids next Monday!
David
