Dear Wines Families,
As we find ourselves in our fourth week of school and our second full week, things are running smoothly and our day to day routines are firmly in place. I want to thank our entire community for all your support to help make the beginning of the year such a success. Here is the news for the week. The message is a bit long, but we have a lot going on!
PTO Meeting Tomorrow
Our first PTO meeting is tomorrow evening at 7:00 in the Wines Library. Everyone is welcome! If you would prefer to join via Zoom, information was sent in today's email.
Early Release Wednesday, Sept. 27th
Our first Early Release of the year is next Wednesday, Sept. 27th. Dismissal is at 1:00 PM. A few classroom teachers mistakenly alerted parents that dismissal was at 1:18 which was the the early release dismissal time last year. Please note that this is slightly earlier release time this year. Busses will run as normal—just arriving home approximately two hours and 48 minutes earlier than usual. There is no PM childcare. Lunch will be served as normal with kids eating slightly earlier than on regular school days.
Picture Day Oct. 3rd
Picture Day is coming up on Oct. 3rd. Online orders can be made at https://inter-state.com/FlyerEntry/80258CF. Ordering online in advance allows for free shipping to school.
The Wines Run-a-Thon is Friday, October 6th!
Our annual Run-a-Thon is right around the corner on Friday, Oct. 6th. The event takes place during the school day and is a great community event. All grades will run in flights between 9AM – 11:30 AM.
Run-a-thon Pledges
The Run-a-Thon is our largest fundraiser of the year with the opportunity to pledge for runners. While we are still a couple weeks away, friends and family can start supporting our students now! This is a great way for friends and family from out of town to support and pledge for kids. Information on the event and how to make a pledge for your child can be found here.
Run-a-thon Corporate Sponsorships
Corporate sponsorships are tax deductible and welcome as well. If interested – please click here send your commitment by this Friday 9/22.

Run-a-thon Volunteers
The Run-a-Thon is also a fun and easy volunteer opportunity. If you are interested in helping out that day, please go to Wines Run-A-Thon Volunteers and sign up.
