Dear Wines Families,
This spring like weather is certainly a bit odd. In the spring, our playground gets very muddy. Unfortunately, it looks a lot like March out there right now. It is important that kids bring boots to school—even when it is 50 degrees! I fear that this is just a preview of March and we’ll be muddy all over again come spring.
Wines Wahoo Friday. We DESPERATELY Need Help
The Wines Wahoo Friday is a highlight for our students and is one of the great traditions at Wines. In order for the event to be a success we need volunteers. There are many spots open. Please click on the link below to sign up.

The Wahoo takes place at Forsythe Middle School from 6-8pm. Join your friends for a live DJ, pizza, open gym, crafts, a silent disco and more. This is not a drop off event and parents need to accompany students (certainly parents can be responsible for a small group of friends). Suggested $5 donation per family at the door with pizza, drink, and snack tickets available for purchase. THIS WILL BE A CASH ONLY EVENT.
Parent Involvement Day Feb. 12
We look forward to hosting parents on Monday for our annual Parent Involvement Day in honor of National African American Parent Involvement Day. If you are planning on coming, we do ask that you fill out an RSVP so we can have a sense of how many people to expect. Most importantly, we’d like to know how many adults will be eating lunch with us so we can be sure to order enough food. Below is a link to the RSVP. RSVP’s are due tomorrow. Link below.
Parent Seminars During Parent Involvement Day
We are excited to announce that we have added two informational sessions for parents at Parent Involvement Day next week. Below are descriptions of the two parent sessions available on Monday. Note, the sessions take place both in the morning and afternoon to try to accommodate as many parents as possible.
Make the Most out of Reading at Home
You know that reading with your student is important and your time is valuable, so how can you make the most out of reading with your student? Session topics will include choosing books for reading and activities to promote accurate word reading and comprehension. Resources and strategies to use at home will be shared to support this time together.
The workshop will be presented by Charity Lemke, Wines Reading Intervention Teacher and Building Literacy Coach along with Eleni Kastanis, Wines English Language Learner Teacher.
Sessions will run at 10:30 and again at 1:30 in Room 107.
Be Smart Firearm Safety
Join parents, caregivers and other concerned adults to learn about the important reasons for safe gun storage in homes and vehicles to protect our children, teens, and at-risk individuals. Even if you are not a firearm owning family, there are steps you can take to protect children from unsecured firearms. This presentation supports the 2nd Amendment & is designed for ADULTS only. Plan for a 30 minute presentation with Q&A after.
Presented by Wines parent, Celeste Kanpurwala
Sessions will run at 10:30 and again at 1:30 in the FLEX Room in the Wines Modular Building
Wines Auction Save the Date!
Join the Wines community for this ADULT ONLY evening event featuring live and silent auctions, great food and good company. Saturday, April 13th at Zingerman’s Greyline in Downtown Ann Arbor.

Noon Hour Help Wanted (Volunteer or Paid Positions Available)
We are always looking for more help at noon hour. This is a very fun opportunity to be with kids in the lunchroom and at recess. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact our coordinator Randa Choate at choate.rj@gmail.com. If you are interested in being paid for the position, pay is $16/hour and while there are a few hoops to finalize employment, it’s a nice way to earn a few extra dollars! If you are interested in the paid position, please contact me directly. Please note that the schedule is flexible for both volunteering and the paid position.
David
