Dear Wines Families,
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving break. We were able to spend time with both Trish’s and my family and we had 17 people sleeping at my brother in law’s house for two nights! It was crowded but a lot of fun. Believe it or not, after today we only have 12 days of school before our winter break. We’ll be busy inside and out of the classroom during those 12 days!
Early Release Today
Just a reminder that today is an Early Release Day. Dismissal is at 1:00.
Book Fair Next Week!
The Wines Scholastic Book Fair is going to be December 10th - 13th. 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 host our annual Family Night on Tuesday, December 10th 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

AAPS Winter Giving
Thanks to this amazing and generous Wines community, the Wines PTO is able to provide resources to those in our school community in need this holiday season. If you have the means, please consider making a donation to other schools within Ann Arbor who are working to provide additional resources to their students. This is an opportunity to share and make a positive difference for families and schools who could use a little extra support this season.
All schools wish lists can be found here or donate gift cards through this form. Donations to any school are appreciated, and the Wines PTO encourages you to assist our neighbors at Forsythe (with 55 students in need) and Haisley (with 20 students in need).
Science Olympiad: Coaches Needed!
Reminder: Crosswalk
Over the past couple days, I have seen a few students crossing the crosswalk at the front of our school. Please, for the safety of our students, students are not allowed to use that crosswalk unless they are accompanied by an adult. This is a critical safety procedure at Wines. Please share this information with anyone who picks up or drops off your child at school.
Teachers and Staff Out Front on Friday
I wanted to alert families that many of our teachers and staff members will be gathering out at the front flagpole Friday morning before school. This is similar to the “Support Ann Arbor Teachers” gatherings that took place weekly last spring. Our staff members are not “protesting” but are being visible and simply sharing information about issues facing teachers with parents who are interested. If you have a moment to say hello, please do.
That’s all for this week!
David
