Weekly Blog 1/11/12

Dear Wines Families.
Attached to today’s email was the January Wines Times. Those of you who follow the blog will need to check your email or go to the Wines website for the newsletter.  I do have a couple of quick announcements that are not in the Times, however. There is also a blurb at the bottom of this about our International Night on January 26th.

I want to remind everyone that there is no school on Monday in observance of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. There are some great opportunities for kids at the University of Michigan that day. The annual Children and Youth Event as part of the larger MLK Symposium has many offerings for kids K-12. Please visit http://mlksymposium.umich.edu/2011/11/18/annual-children-youth-event/ for more information.

Science Olympiad registration will begin next week.  If you are interested in coaching, a quick informational meeting is scheduled for this Thursday, January 12th, at 7:00 PM at Wines.

As we end the holiday season, I want to thank the Wines community for your donations to our coat drive. In total, we collected 19 Adult Coats, 37 Children's Coats, 22 Snow pants/Bibs, 8 Sweatshirts/Windbreakers, 4 Pairs of Boots, and 9 Sets of Hats/Mittens/Scarves. Thanks to Lisa Ridha for organizing the drive.
