Dear Wines Families,
I hope this message finds you well and enjoying the real fall temperatures that arrived this week. As the weather begins to change and we enter fall and winter, just a reminder that we will go outside for recess daily as long as the wind chill is above 0 degrees. We will also go outside in light rain as well so please make sure kids are sent to school prepared to be outside daily.
Run-a-Thon Pledges
Congratulations families, we have reached our overall fundraising goal for the Run-a-Thon so I will be sleeping on the roof in the Spring! While that is wonderful, we currently do not have any classrooms with 100% participation (and subsequently, the opportunity to throw a pie at my face!). Please see below where each classroom’s participation stands. Every little amount helps and I can honestly say that I really want all 19 classrooms to hit me with a pie! We are still accepting pledges and they can be made online via: https://www.ptowines.org/wines-runathon.
For the donation to count towards your classroom, simply put the teacher’s same in the “Child’s Name” field in the online donation form. We are also still taking cash and checks in the packets sent home as well.

PTO Meeting 10/19
Our next PTO meeting is next Thursday, October 19 at 7:00 in the Library. For those wishing to join via Zoom, the meeting information came in today's email.
Pick Up and Drop off Reminders
Now that we are fully into our seventh week of school, I want to take a moment to remind everyone of our pick up and drop off procedures. First, please be sure you are using the correct lot. Our Young 5’s, Kindergarten, and 5th grade families should be using the Cooley Lot, not the main entrance from Wines. 1st-4th grades should enter from Newport and use the main entrance to Wines. Please use the lot that corresponds to your youngest child (so 5th grade families, if you have siblings in 1st-4th grades, please use the main entry). While our system is not perfect, it is safe and efficient when everyone uses the correct entrances.
I’ve also noticed that more and more students are being dropped off to school without supervision as early as 8:30 or earlier. Students should not be at school unsupervised until an adult staff member comes outside to greet students. This is usually about 8:35. Thank you for your attention to this.
Movie Night October 20th
Plan on dropping off your students for Wines’ first Movie Night on Friday, October 20, from 6-8PM. We will have chaperones, snacks, and a fun, free movie watching experience set up in the cafeteria. Kids can wear PJs and bring sleeping bags to sit on to watch Disney’s Elementals.

EduStaff Substitute Teacher Positions
As we are headed into the Winter season, which also may be known as cold/flu/COVID season, the Ann Arbor Public Schools (AAPS) is looking for substitute teachers and paraeducators to support our classrooms. If you are a passionate person who enjoys connection with students EduStaff is looking for you. Substitute positions are necessary and meaningful work that enriches the lives of students in our community. If you, your family or friends are interested in making an impact, we encourage you to support the AAPS team as a substitute teacher or paraeducator. Start your application at https://www.edustaff.org/
Fall Break
Reminder: no school this Friday or next Monday for Fall Break.
Thanks!
David
