Weekly Update 5/24

Dear Wines Families, 
My night on the roof last night was actually quite enjoyable! The weather was perfect for an evening outside and the many visitors throughout the night (both in person and online) were really great. As I said in the live feed, the night on the roof originated as a celebration of the kids’ achievements in the fall Run-a-Thon. Now that time has passed, last night was really a way for me to celebrate our kids and our community for an entire school year of support, enthusiasm, hard work, and lots of fun! While we still have a couple weeks left of this school year, I do want to take a moment to thank everyone for one of the most memorable school years I can think of! 

ROAR Thank You!! 
Last Friday’s ROAR was another incredible success. Despite a little rain and some last minute logistical changes, the evening was a hit with everyone! Thank you to the small army of volunteers who responded to the call for help. We couldn’t have done it without you! I want to give a HUGE thank you to Lizzy Hurwitz who organized the ROAR for the second year and to Janice Guikema who organized the Raffle. Lizzy and Janice were supported by many people. In particular I want to recognize Marti Clark and Andrea Huang who were part of the yearlong planning process and were both all hands on deck last Friday afternoon and evening. And I don’t want to leave out Seth Guikema who may have set the world record for hauling tables Friday! The ROAR was a great culminating event for a great year. Thank you to everyone for all of the support. 

AAPS Registration
All AAPS families must re-register each year. You should have received an email from "AAPS Registration" last week with a link to register your child(ren). This email was sent to the email used to register your student(s) so please check all emails in your family for the message. If you have more than one student at Wines and you have multiple email addresses, there is a chance that you may have registered one student using one email and another with a second email. If this is the case, please check both emails. Most of the online registration is pre-populated so it only takes a few minutes and a few clicks to be done. 

News from the Library
Book return: This is the last week of book checkout for the school year. Please return all library books by Friday, June 2. If your child has lost a book, you are welcome to send in a new replacement book or reach out to Ms. Goldberg (goldbergr@aaps.12.mi.us) to find out the replacement fee. Thank you and happy summer reading/gaming at the Ann Arbor District Library.
