Vinewood Weekly Bulletin 10-30-23

Please join us at our Open House on Wednesday, May 14th from 6:00-7:00 p.m. This is your children’s opportunity to show you around the classroom and school, informing you of all the activities, projects, and assignments they have completed. We ask that you do not bring food or drinks into the classrooms. Also, please visit only your child's classroom to minimize capacity.

During the Open House, we will have two additional areas for you to stop by and visit.

• Beginning instrument club, advanced modern band, and regular band soloists will be performing in the cafeteria. Beginning instrument club will start us off with the performances at 6:10pm. Then Band students who signed up to play a solo will perform between 6:20pm and 6:50pm. Finally Advanced Modern Band will perform at 6:50pm. There will also be an interactive listening exhibit throughout the cafeteria with projects and art from 6th grade genre project, 4th grade composer projects and art displays of Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition", and finally, instrument workbooks from 1st grade. It is a combination of artwork and QR codes to listen to various music genres. So bring your phone and headphones to listen and learn more about what students have been doing in music! Hope to see you there!

• Lost and found clothes will be displayed around the Birthday Cake in our Courtyard. Any unclaimed items will be donated at the end of this school year (May 30, 2025).

We’ve recently experienced incidents involving teenagers trespassing on our campus over the past four weekends. They have been hopping the perimeter fence and treating Vinewood as a recreational space, consistently leaving behind inappropriate litter on our new play structure and causing disruptions upon our return on Monday mornings.

Our campus security cameras have captured images of the individuals involved, but despite outreach to our School Resource Officer (SRO) and surrounding 7-12 grade schools, they have been unable to assist in identifying the trespassers.

These incidents typically occur on Saturdays and Sundays between 4:00 and 8:00 p.m. If you notice any unauthorized individuals on campus during these times or at any other time, please do not confront them. Instead, report the activity by contacting the Lodi Police Department's non-emergency line.

Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and respectful environment.

Thank you to everyone who came out to make our Jog-A-Thon a wonderful success! As of last count, we have raised $14,000.00, but donations are still coming in!!! A HUGE THANK YOU to Katherine King for all her hard work every year coordinating!
