Weekly Update 4/2

Dear Wines Families, 

As I write this, we are in the middle of some terrible “spring” weather! My sons are hockey players and we spend a lot of time in hockey rinks. At this time of year, they play lacrosse. Trish and I always say during the spring lacrosse season that we REALLY miss the cold ice rinks—no rain, no wind, no snow! 

Wines Parents Night Out and Auction!

Join us at Circ in downtown Ann Arbor April 4th from 6-10PM!  This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with parents and teachers outside of school in a low key, casual, adult-only environment and support our school!

We have some amazing art projects created by each classroom that will be part of the Live Auction.  You must be present to bid on the Live Auction, so be sure to get your tickets! A link to view the projects was in today's email.

Friday is National School Librarian Day!

Our amazing School Librarian, Rachel Goldberg helps to make Wines an inclusive, educational, and fun place for our kids to be. If you are able to, please consider showing your appreciation on Friday, April 4th - National school Librarian Day - for Ms. Goldberg by wishing her a happy appreciation day, sending a card or flower, or having your kid read an extra book that day!

Reminder: Upcoming Construction on Miller

As you have likely noticed, construction has begun on Miller. You may have also noticed that the intersection of Miller and Newport is still open. I contacted the city yesterday and they indicated that later this month, that intersection will close. I do not know when this will take place. So please keep in mind the various options to avoid that intersection including exiting Wines north on Newport or arriving to Wines from the north. Or, using Pinetree/Westport on the south end of Newport to arrive from Miller or exit to Miller.
