Dear Wines Families,
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving break. Folks around Wines appear refreshed and the kids jumped back into the swing of school right away on Monday. These next four weeks before Winter Break are a busy time and we are looking forward to it!
Friday Morning Floor Hockey is Back!
Starting this Friday at 8:15 AM, we will host our weekly floor hockey game before school. This is open to students in all grades and no experience is necessary. Parents are welcome to play as well. However, parents do not need to stay and you can drop your child off. We only ask that students have dry shoes for the gym so if it is snowy/wet outside, please have your child bring gym shoes to change into.
PTO Meeting Tonight
We have a PTO meeting tonight at 7:00 in the Wines library. We meet in person but there is a Zoom option as well. Zoom information was sent in today's email. Speaking of PTO, at the bottom of this note is information on various way to support our PTO!
Winter Weather
Obviously, winter seems to have arrived this week. As we enter the winter months, I want to remind everyone that we still go outside daily as long as the temperature or windchill is zero degrees or above. Please be sure your child comes to school prepared to go outside nearly every day this winter. Speaking of winter clothes, our Lost and Found is as full as I’ve ever seen it! Please remind your child to take a look in the lost and found for lost items. Parents are welcome to come “browse” the items as well. Just check into the front office and hopefully you can find some missing items!
Early Release Wednesday, Dec. 6
Next Wednesday, Dec. 6th, is an Early Release. Dismissal is at 1:00. Lunch will be served as normal. There is no PM childcare that day.
Wines Book Fair December 12-15
The Wines Scholastic Book Fair is going to be December 12th - 15th. Every purchase from the book fair provides fabulous resources for students, teachers, and our school library. It’s also a great way to get some holiday shopping checked off your list!
We will be having a Family Night on Tuesday, December 12th from 6:30-8:00. If you cannot make it to Family Night, you are welcome to come and shop at the fair during school hours Wednesday and Thursday.
Here is a link to the fair's website for information on eWallet, online shopping and more: Wines Scholastic Book Fair Website
