Weekly Update 10/18

 Dear Wines Families,

I hope this message finds you well on this beautiful Autumn day. There are some exciting things coming up this week and beyond, so please take a moment to read through today’s message. 

Run-a-Thon Update

Again, I want to thank our community for another successful Run-a-Thon. We have exceeded our schoolwide fundraising goal and so I will spend an evening on the roof in the spring when it warms up! We currently have two classrooms—Mrs. Middleton and Mr. Toohey—who have met the 100% participation goal and have earned the right to throw a pie in my face. I’m still hoping that all of our classes meet this goal and many are very close! We have extended the deadline for one week. Donations can be made in the cash/check or online at https://www.ptowines.org/wines-runathon. Below is the current tally of classroom participation: 

 

PTO Meeting Tomorrow

Our PTO will be meeting tomorrow evening in the Wines Library at 7:00 PM. If you are unable to attend in person, Zoom information was sent in today's email. below is the Zoom information.

Walk to School Friday

After a week off due to Fall Break, we will again celebrate “Walktober” this Friday and encourage everyone to walk to school. Bus riders will again be dropped off at Forsythe where I will meet them along with our students who participate in morning childcare. 

Movie Night Friday!

Plan on dropping off your students for Wines’ first Movie Night this Friday 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. This event is for current Wines students only. Parents, please be sure to return to Wines no later than 8:00 to pick your child(ren) up. 

We are still looking for volunteers for set up and clean up! Click here to sign up:

Science + Builders Fair: Thursday, November 9 

Put your thinking caps on! Our annual Science + Builders Fair is right around the corner. The Science + Builders Fair is meant to inspire young minds to learn and innovate! Nothing is too simple. This is not a "judged" event -- all participants receive a certificate. Sign up information will be forthcoming. 

Thanks!
